Although I can't be with you at this sad time, my thoughts and prayers most surely are. I have so many happy memories of your Mom from the 50s and 60s when we were across-the-lane neighbours. The friendship we shared then was always special and has positively affected my life ever since. I still remember how difficult it was to say good-bye when we moved away, but of course we never lost touch. I will always fondly remember your Mom as a wonderful, warm and empathetic friend, and a wise and witty woman who loved to laugh. We did such a lot of laughing together. It is with sorrow that I extend my heart-felt condolences to all of you, and wish you peace and comfort in your host of memories and the presence of each other.
