Dear Family,

I am at a loss for adequate words to express my sadness for you. I had the blessed opportunity of knowing your mom and I know heaven just received one of the most special angels. Your mom was such a lovely woman. I often think about all the times I spent at her house and all the amazing meals your mom cooked.

Please accept my heartfelt sympathy on the passing of your mother
