Dear Jane and Preston (and other loved ones),

I wish there was something I could say to ease the pain of your loss.

Your mother touched my life just by having the honor of meeting her. Even in her older years when age had faded some of her abilities, her beauty and depth of character were stunning and palpable and it was clear in her presence that she was a rare gem and an exquisite human being.

I am so sorry for your loss, indeed she is irreplaceable but her qualities have been passed on to her loved ones and we are all blessed because of her life.

May your memories comfort you and may her strength of character support you while you pass through this season of mourning. God bless you and your families!

Much love,
Sally Dey
