    Today I was thinking of all of you and wishing I could be there with you on this sad occasion. Cynthia, your Mum was such a wonderful, warm, fun, friendly person and always made me feel like part of your family. I feel lucky to have known her for so many years and I’m sending all of you my love!

    I was very sorry to hear about your mom’s passing and her struggle with ALS. Although I have rarely seen her since we were neighbourhood kids, I always remember her as being a very kind and pleasant person.

    My sincere condolences to the whole family.

    My condolences to Jenny’s family at this difficult time. Jenny was a Sorority sister and I always admired her for her wonderful personality. She will be sorely missed by all who loved her. She is in a better place now with no pain or suffering. Peace be with you Jenny.
