Chris, Lori, Aspen and Mikayla,

I know what a difficult time it is for all of you and I want you to know how deeply saddened we are to hear about your mother''''s passing. I think that mothers are one of God''''s greatest blessings, and your mom was no exception. She was truly one of those blessed and good people who are full of so much grace and dignity.

What a beautiful photo of your mother. I remember meeting your mother when she and your dad visited you guys in California. Her angelic smile and sweet nature made her a joy to be around (just like her daughter).

May your faith guide you and comfort you in your sadness.

Love,
The Miller Family (Chris, Arlene, Lauren and Ethan)

Mary and I met in high school and became close friends thereafter. Sadly, after we graduated, we lost track. Though I thought of her many times in the years following, we only found each other less than two years ago. We had a wonderful visit last winter in Florida, and again here in Bel Air this past summer. We stayed in touch by email and phone. I prayed every day for her recovery, but it was not meant to be. Rest in peace, dear friend. I will always miss you, but you will always reside in my heart. May your loving family bear the loss of you knowing you are in a better place.
Love,
Jean

Dear Jaci and family:
I am so sorry to hear about your mother's passing. I am sorry I never had the opportunity to meet her, I know she was a wonderful woman from the way you spoke of her and the wonderful daughter that she raised (that I am so lucky to know). My deepest sympathy to you and your family.
with love,
Jody and family
