Dear DiAnne and all Family members,
I'm so sorry to read of the passing of your dear, sweet mother. I look back at how kind and caring she was with me as we struggled through the process of my annulment. I still remember the first day I entered her apartment and she proudly introduced her family to me via all the pictures lined in her little foyer. What a classy, gracious, endearing woman. Thank you so much for sharing her with so many d us. Hold onto those wonderful memories I'm sure you all have of this fantastic lady. Take care.
