Posted on: Friday, December 29, 2017To my cousins, I would like to express my sympathy and let you know that you are in my thoughts. Cynthia, I know how devoted you were to your mom and know how much you will feel her absence. May the kind words and deeds of friends and loved ones bring you comfort.
I always enjoyed your mom’s company when your parents joined us before Christmas, often on your mom’s birthday. I have some fond memories.
