Dear Mary,
My sister Mary Ann told me of you Mother's death, and I want you to know how very, very sorry I am. We SO enjoyed getting to know the 2 of you--your Mom was a wonderful friend to my Mom, and sharing time with the 2 of you in her lovely home was such a joy! You had a special, close relationship which will last forever. Now you can no longer give her hug, share a laugh, enjoy a meal, listen to her wonderful stories, or watch movies together. For that my heart aches for you, Mary. But all the many, many hours you spent together will give you a serenity few daughters know. She's no longer here, but I can see Mary waiting for you at the scrabble table where she's plotting her next word!
Hugs,
Susan Cross
