Dear Julie and John:



Our mothers were such close friends; they gave us strength to hold each other up and love each other through the unbelievable grief and pain of their loss; in the same way that they supported each other as friends through all the events in their lives on earth.



You mother was a passionate and wonderful person, who loved life and stood up for what she believed in. I know that she blessed my mother with her friendship and love.



Let's keep in touch and continue to celebrate their lives and carry the torches they passed on to us...



With all my love .... Sonia's daughter, Vivien
