    Dear Mary Ann and family: I am so very sorry to hear of the passing of your mother, grandmother, great-grandmother. Although I never met her, I know what a wonderful person she was. These last few years certainly weren't easy. Treasure the wonderful memories you have of your departed loved one - those memories won't die. Her love for her family lives on in your hearts. May God comfort you all during this sad time.
