Dearest Mom Ida,

I am so sorry for your loss. Words cannot express my gratitude for the love and encouragement that the two of you provided during the time that I spent with you at St. Clotilde and on Indiana Avenue. You shared so many "life lessons" that I still treasure today. I pray that God gives you comfort and peace.

Love,
Rochelle
