Dear Jessica, Steven, Eric and Jeanne,
I'm so terribly sad to hear about the loss of your Mom and sister.
I remember when I was little, I was so excited at the thought of having a big sister. Your Mom made the very BEST chocolate cupcakes (with that fluffy crème in the middle). May she rest in peace. Please know that you all are very much in my prayers.
