Jaime and Fred,
You and your family are in our thoughts and prayers. May God give you comfort and peace in your grief.

I am so sorry about the loss of your mother. I used to prepare Barbara’s tax returns and we became good friends. I also work at Asheville Gastroenterology and had seen Barbara recently. I did not know that her sickness had progressed as much as it had.
I have your family in my thoughts and prayers.

Dearest Jaime, Lisa, and Fred,
I was so very sorry to hear about your Mom. I sent a card to you at your Mom’s address but it might not reach you guys so hopefully this will get forwarded to you. I have very fond memories of visiting your home when we were kids, Jaime, and your Mom is certainly among those fond memories. Please know that our thoughts are with you.
Love,
Carole (Hampton) & Joel Cotter
(parents are still living at #22 Chateau – drop in sometime. I know they’d love to see you all.
I wish I could have been there with the family. I love you all and hope to see you all soon. I loved your Mom and really felt like family or maybe even I thought we were more like sisters. I am going to miss her.
Love and prayers.
Mary Alice
