Thanks for the memories Mom! Love you!
Amy, I’m so sorry about your mother’s passing. It has been a long time since we have seen one another, but having lost both of my parents now, I know that this is a difficult time, and wanted you to know that I care. Time heals all wounds of the heart, but I know you’ll never forget her. Please give my best to your family
