Dear Jim:
Sending you my most sincere compassion as your mother, Ruth Conway, dies. How amazing that your mother lived one day past her birthday! It sounds like your Mom's love and enthusiasm for life has been mirrored in you. She leaves behind a legacy--her children, grandchildren, and extended family. Thinking of your family as you adjust to Ruth's physical absence in your lives!
Warm regards- Marilyn

Dear Jim

So sorry to hear of the loss of your mother who appears to have been such a remarkable influence in the lives of her family, community & country. Qualities which in my humble opinion have been so admirably reflected in the life of her son.

Love and Blessings
