Jim,

May your loss be tempered by your faith that your mom landed safely; she, like your dad, Jack and all of her loved ones, is now, one with our Father.

I have so many fond memories of your mom. Two that immediately come to mind include the following: 1. She did her very best to persuade us to add some home decor to the club house, under your back porch. 2. She and your aunt uncontrollably and contagiously laughing at our 7th grade Bicentennial skit.

Mostly, though, I'll always remember your mom very simply as the person who loved you very unconditionally; but, I know she is so much more than any memory.

She is a presence in your life that will remain with you always.

May you find a modicum of comfort in this.

God bless you -
