Dear Tom, Matt and Family,
I was so saddened to find out today that your loving mother passed away in March. I’m so sorry I didn’t know until now or I would have paid my respects. My heart is saddened as she was my special bowling partner 31 years ago, and I just loved corresponding with her every Christmas about your wonderful family! She was so so proud of you all ! I personally stopped sending cards in 2013 and had not heard from her in a while also. You all had the sweetest mom and I adored her as well! My heartfelt thoughts and prayers are with you. God bless you as I know you must miss her very much! Hugs!!
