    Diane and Steve,
    I knew your mom through your father, Gene. I spoke with her several times throughout the years that Gene worked in the Planning Office. I have fond memories of both your parents and am sorry I lost touch with both you, Diane, and your mother, after I left City Hall.
    Please accept my heartfelt condolences for your loss. It warms my heart to know Clara is now with her beloved Simplicio.
    My deepest sympathies to your entire family.
