Dear Linda and Jackie,

I am so sorry to hear about your mom. I, obviously, didn't know her as well as Susan and the rest, yet I will always remember such a very, very sweet woman.

I can also clearly remember driving with your dad to visit Susan at Northern. I was so young and shy, yet he was able to make me laugh the whole way there.

Just wanted to express my deepest sympathies to you both, and all of your family.
