Dear graham and family - we were shocked to see news of grace's death and are so sorry we can't be with you. We are out of town. Grace's strength and endurance and full engagement in life was enviable. But that twinkle in her eye and embodiment of true happiness was what drew you to her. Our neighborhood won't be the same.

Dearest Graham,
You were the best son a Mother could ask for as I saw first hand how you cared for her. She was a blessing to you as you were to her. My sincere condolences to you and your family.
