To Mark, Susan and Renee
I am so saddened to hear about the death of your Mom, Dot. She was a very special friend to me and we spoke often. I had the privilege of administering the Sacrament of the anointing of the Sick to your Mom during her recent struggle with cancer.
Your Mom will be surely missed, but, I will always remember her in a very special way.

Mark and Sandy,
Paul and I extend our sincere sympathy and condolences in the loss of your mother. Losing a parent brings awareness of our own realization that life is a short journey through challenging and happy times. Surely, this is a time of deep reflection, as we all learn to cherish each precious moment and express gratitude for the time we have spent with our loved ones who have passed through this life and appreciate those we love in this present moment. You and your family are in our thoughts and in our hearts.
