Dear Teresa and family,
Bill and I are so sorry you have lost your mother. We know this is a sad time for all of you but also one of thanksgiving for having had her for so many years. She was a beautiful woman and from what you have told us she faced her illness with courage and optimism. We regret that we can’t be with you tomorrow night. This is Bill’s 65th birthday and we are having a family celebration tomorrow night. We will think about you and will be in touch soon.
Our love and sympathy are with you.
What a joy to have known this lovely lady. She was the true embodiment of the words ‘faithful wife and mother.’
Our condolences to the family and sincere hope that, in time, todays grief is surplanted by yesterdays precious memories.
