Dear Jim;

I was saddened to read the death notice for your Mother. I had the pleasure of meeting her at several Catholic Charities functions.

I think the hardest thing the Lord asks us to do is to bury our Mother's. My Mom is gone 23 years, and not a day goes by that I don't think about her and pray for her.

I am sorry that time and distant will not allow me to convey my
sympathy to you in person, but, please know I am thinking about you during these difficult times.

You are blessed that your Mom is in Heaven and still watching over you.

Sending my love and prayers.
