    Dear Paula,

    I was very saddened to hear the news about your mother. I know that you will miss her very much. Please know that you are in our thoughts, and we send you our condolences. Lori and Tom are out of town for part of this week, but I know that she also sends you her best. How are you doing these days? The last I heard, Aunt Shirley saw you outside the LMH, where I believe that you were undergoing treatment. As you might know, Aunt Shirley passed away on June 12 of this year, the same day that my Dad passed away in 2009. I can’t believe that it has been 5 years since Mom passed away. We sure had some good times growing up on LaSalle, didn’t we. Your mom was always so kind to us, and we will cherish our memories of her. I can still see her on roller skates… both of you were so good! 🙂 Please keep in touch. My email is attached. With deepest sympathy, Paula.

    All my best,

    Matt

    Paula, You know I worked with your mom for several years at Hallmark. Her bark really was worse than her bite. I know you will miss her and I will keep you in my prayers. Cheryl
