Richard,

Time is marching on. I'm grateful for this reminder so I can reflect on memories of your mom and her life-long friendship with my mother. I hope you are having a good day and will remember the good times with her also.

Richard,

It has been eight years since your mother passed away. Time eases the pain, but I'm sure the sadness at her absence will always be with you, as I am with my mother. The two of them were lifelong friends and my memories of Mary are happy. One was them is her very distinctive laugh which always ended in "Oh, kiddo"! My brother would imitate that laugh and always make us laugh. Another thing that really impressed me was when she wrote me in a holiday card that she often visited my mother's grave when she could. She was a thoughtful person and I know you'll always keep her memory alive.

Richard,

I just heard about your mother. Even though this was expected, it is always sad. I'll always have nice memories of my mother's friend. When my mom passed away, your mother made me promise to keep in touch during the holidays and we did for the past ten years. I hope you will be comforted in the knowledge that your mother had a long life and she is now with your father.
