Dear Marsha, Susan and Lori,
I worked with your mom at Catholic Charities for nearly 15 years, and learned a lot from her during that time, until I retired from full-time work in February of 2001. She was a powerful force who will be missed by many. From what I heard at the funeral I know you will miss her, and I am quite sure that Catholic Charities Senior Case Management, Northeast/Northwest Case Management Unit will have a challenge to find someone to replace her.
My thoughts and prayers are with you at this time.

I worked with Sarah for 13 years, and bar none, she was the best employer I ever had. She always brought out the best in me, and it was my sincere pleasure to work with her. I will always be grateful for her kind words, her shoulder to cry on, and her interest in my family. You, Sarah's family, will always be in my thoughts and prayers.

Dear Marsha, Susan and Lori,
Just wanted to let you know that I'm thinking of all of you at this very sad time. Losing your mother is one of the worst losses to take. I know how close you all were and I also know that words can't make things any easier.
It's a good think that all of you-- sisters can be together and help one another deal with this sadness.
Thinking of you all.
Your cousin Bryce
