    Our deepest sympathies on the passing of your Mother. She will certainly be missed by a lot of people, including Linda and myself. At a difficult time in my life, she was always there with a kind word of inspiration. I’m sure you know that she is at Peace, and with your Father, and many others whom she had touched during her 94 years here on earth. Rest In Peace Lillian.
