Karen: I was very sorry to read about your mother passing away. I don’t know if you remember me or not, we worked together at Eaton for a number of years. My thoughts and prayers are with you and your family during this difficult time.
Donna,
I don’t know if you remember me but we went to school together. I just wanted to express my sympathy to you in the loss of your mother. May the memories you have comfort you.
