Billy,
I don't know if you remember me but I was a bartender at The Gathering and moved to Las Vegas about 10 years ago. Nancy informed me of your wifes passing and you have my deepest sympathy. I wanted you to know that I will keep you in my prayers. I know how hard it is to lose someone you love so much as I lost my Mom and Fiancee in a matter of two years. Please remember you have friends, and I'm sure family, who care a great deal about you and are there to help. I also know it is a tough time for you and wanted you to know that your in my thoughts and prayers.
Sincerely and respectfully,

Kelly and Lauren Ritchie

Dear Mom,
Words can't express how much I miss you. Being at the house and not seeing you here is devastating. I know that you and Mutte are together and I want you two to take care of each other. Mom you are the strongest person I know. You were the rock of our family and without you here things will never be the same. I hate that you got so sick and I hate that you had to suffer and most of all I hate that you aren't with me right now. The comfort I have is knowing you will always be watching over us. I am so lucky to have had such a wonderful, beautiful, brave mother and I will cherish every memory and moment we had together. Tomorrow is going to be the hardest day of my life, but I am going to be strong for you and our family, because I know that is what you would want. Mom, I love you.
