Dear Ricky and Gretchen,
I will always remember how wonderful and kind your mother was to all of us as we played in your neighborhood as children.
I am so deeply sorry for your loss. We lost my Dad in October as well.
May they both befriend each other and look down on us and our families and give us peace and strength.
May God Bless you always.
