    Writing a message of condolences on the loss of one’s mother is a very hard thing to do.For many this could be the biggest loss of their life.Mike, I did not meet or get to know mom but if you are a reflection of her then she must have been a lady….in the truest sense of that word.She must have treated people with dignity,respect and empathy.Not to mention the way you make each person feel special about himself/herself.
    To you,Eileen and your family Joan and I are deeply sorry for this loss.
