Dear Mary and Girls,
I was so sorry to hear that your mother and grandmother passed away.
However, Mary, I am glad that her last years were spent close to you. I remember that the last time we spoke, you told me a couple of funny stories about your adventures with your mom. Those are the kinds of moments I try to recall when I think of my departed parents and am having trouble getting past the more painful memories.
My hope for you is that each day you will find the best of things to remember and emulate and that you will continue to be grateful for the love and support you give each other. I have always been impressed by your closeness.
Thinking of you all.
Love,
Valerie
