Dear Tom,Betsy,and Larry
I was so saddened to read about your mothers death!! We all had alot of good times together throughout the years! Both your parents were very dear to me. I will never forget our Thanksgivings together!
I pray that time will erase the saddness that you are now feeling and only wonderful memories will replace your sorrow.
Love,
Barbie
