Dear Greg,

I am so sorry to hear of the passing of your mom. She was always kind to my brother and I. And I always remember her with a smile on her face. Bob Kurnat called Marty, and Marty let me know. I apologize for not being able to be present at the wake.

I hope you and your family take comfort in knowing she is heaven and again smiling down on you.



Take care and Godspeed.
