Dear Jeanne, Cathy, Jill, Amy, and family,
I am so deeply sorry for your loss. Your mom was one of the most beautiful, vibrant, loving people I've ever known. How blessed we were to have her, your dad and all of you as neighbors and friends. My mom died April 12. We can all grieve together for these beloved, amazing women. Blessings, peace and love to you all.
