Dear Jannet, John and Michael,
I am so sorry to learn about the passing of your mom. My heart aches for all of you. The last couple of days I have been flooded with wonderful memories of her and your whole family with bursts of paralyzing sadness. The friendship your mom and my mom had was priceless. I can honestly say I still felt their love even after my mom passed and I feel it even more since your mom has left us. I guess that kind of love never dies and just lives on and on. I’m so glad I was there for your moms 80th birthday. Thinking about that perfect day when I was able to be with my mom and your loving family to celebrate Laverne’s birthday has helped brighten many dark days for me. I love you all. Please know my thoughts, prayers and my heart are with all of you. Love Marsha
