It’s difficult to put in words the sorrow I feel for the passing of a person so special in one’s life as a mother. Her smile, her laughter and her voice are embedded in my mind and they warm my heart when I think of her. I thank your mom, my Zia Maria, for the kind memories she gave me.
May the memory of her love bring the caressing warmth of a mother to your hearts and loving smiles to your faces.
Our deepest sympathies and may the Lord bless all of you during this most difficult time of sadness. You are in our thoughts.
My sincerest condolences on the loss of your blessed mother. May God bless her. My thoughts & prayers are with you and your family during this difficult time.
