Brian, Caroline, young Brian, and extended family members,

Please accept our sincere condolence on the passing of your mother, mother-in-law, and grandmother.
Judging from her obit, she lived a grand life and raised a crew of wonderful children!
Please know that I understand how difficult it is for a son to lose his mother regardless of age or time, but I do also know that time shall ease the painful empty feeling of such a loss with the many fond memories you have of her life's journey to keep her immortal in your thoughts.

I did not personally know your mother, Brian, but I can tell she was a great and strong woman who loved her family and taught each of her children to be strong and successful in whatever career they chose to pursue by what I know of you and your family!
Stay strong and hold each other close during this difficult time, for "Patsy" would surely want to know that you are together together!

With sympathy and friendship,

Tom & Karen Noble & Family
