Dear Lydia, Michele and their families I am so sorry to hear of the loss of your mom. I have many fond memories of hanging out at your house and her feeding me and kind of looking out for me when my own mother couldn’t. I will always be thankful for having her as a part of my early childhood years.
May you find comfort and your grief be short.
