    Dear Deb and Family,

    I am so sorry to hear of your Mom’s passing. I have many good memories of seeing her at your home on River Street. I also recall the necklace she wore – of a baseball – I believe. She was a wonderful woman – I know she will be greatly missed. I trust you will find comfort in the memories you have and in the God who walks with you.
