Jeff and family:
Our sincerest condolences on the passing of your dear Mother. Her sweetness and happy presence will be missed by all who knew her. Our thoughts and prayers are with your family,

My deepest sympathy and Christian love is extended to Jeff and the entire family at this time of loss. I was the chaplain on duty when your Mom arrived at the hospital, and tried to reach you. Unfortunately, although your Mom was able to recall your name, she could not remember your phone number or where you lived. I searched 411 for your name in Allentown, unaware you live in Emmaus. Your Mom was so sweet to our staff, and left a wonderful impression with me. May the peace of the Risen Christ offer comfort and hope in the days ahead.
