Dear Vanesa, Megan, and Lucas,
I am so sorry to hear of the loss of your mother. Please find comfort knowing that you loved her and cared for her as much as you could throughout her entire life and in particular in her last years. Just as she was comforted knowing what wonderful children she had the opportunity love and care for. You three are amazing young people, and because of your mother's life and because of your mother's death, you are and will always be strong, compassionate, and loving human beings. I'm so glad I was able to know your mother the little that I did, and also know her through the wonderful children that she raised. To continue to grow and love each other is the greatest gift you can give her. I will be thinking about you and your family in the days to come, as I know they will be especially hard, but also as your lives start to move forward. Please count me among the shoulders you can always lean on for something specific or for no reason at all. Love and hugs and prayers.
