Joe,Bill, Mr. Thompson and the rest of the family.

I am so sorry to hear about the loss of your precious mother and wife.

I have so many fond memories of her and her "patience" with all of us growing up.

I wish I had found out earlier to pay my respects to all of you but on behalf of my family. She will be greatly missed.
