Dear Laura,

Your mom and I worked together at Bristol Myers, reunited 10 years ago and again last year. We were so looking to getting together again this year. She was a bridesmaid in my wedding. Lynn was a good friend. You and your family have my deepest sympathy. May God bless you.

Laura,
My deepest sympathy to you and your family on the loss of your sweet mother. Your mom and dad were always such wonderful friends and neighbors to our family, and though I did not see her often I shall always feel a sadness as I pass her house. May you and Tim and your children be comforted in the knowledge of the joy and pride she derived from all of you.
