    Dear Sherry: I wanted to tell you that I was sorry to read that you lost your Mother. I got to know her quite well when you and I worked at the radio station. I always enjoyed being with her because of her pleasant and easy-going nature. I also worked as a temp at Lafayette College for awhile and used to see her there also. She was a very special lady. May you find comfort in the promises of Christ.

    Sharon,
    I enjoyed knowing your mother for some time as she was a member of our monthly birthday group. Although she couldn’t make all the dinners with us, when she could we had alot of fun. Everyone liked her so much, she was so kind, so sweet and very attractive…always dressed for the occasion…we will miss here very much. I’m glad she got to live and enjoy all the years she did. May God Bless you at this sorrowful time…

Wait for me my friend, we will meet again. We’ll be strong, We’ll carry on because that’s how you’d want it to be. It seems we are worlds apart but connected at the heart with memories of a lovely friend!
