Dear Jennifer,
Kathy told me about your dear mother. You have my deepest condolences on this loss. I know you will miss her, but she will always be with you, in your heart. (small comfort, right?) But I’m old and I think it’s true. I also know that you will need time to grieve. Please let Kathy know how she can help you in this sad time. And let her know if there’s anything that I can do. You are a wonderful person, and you are very dear to Kathy. We want to help you. May God bless you and the whole family.
Fondly,
Diane (Kathy’s ‘big’ sister)
Dear Jennifer,
You and your family have my deepest condolences on the loss of your mother.
Kathy Baker
Thank you so much for you kind thoughts. She was a bright light with a heart so big, I’m surprised it fit into her body.
Thank you for your kind words and beautiful flowers. They were amazing. My mom always asked how you were doing and thought of you often….
Jim, Jennifer, and Jason,
I am deeply saddened by the loss of your mom. She was such a spit fire. I had the pleasure of getting to know her, and just adored her. I am praying for the Lord to wrap His loving arms around all of you during this most difficult time for comfort and healing. May He lift up your mom’s spirit and bring her peace. In Jesus’ precious name, amen. Sending you hugs and love. Always here for you. ❤
Your friend,
Kelly
Thank you for your kind words. My mom loved you so much and was very proud of you. She always said you could sing like an angel. You know her favorite song that you sang was “I’ll always love you”..
