Dear Family of Geneva Boyd,
I wish to express my deepest sympathy to you in the loss of your mother.
Although I haven't seen Geneva for years, I remember her smile and her wit.
My Mom sure enjoyed meeting with those Ribolt ladies! In my opinion, when you lose your mother, you lose the only person in the world who loves you unconditionally. Please know that I am thinking of you today and praying that God will help you now and in the days ahead. I am so sorry that I am unable to attend the services today.

Your friend,
