"Pete to you and your family, Lori and I want to express our sincere condolences in memory of your mom. All our travels together you shared stories about your family and during those times I got to know them through you. Last fall I met your mom and received her canned apples an experience I shall remember. Cherish the memories of your mom, they will sustain you in times when you grieve for her and bring you moments of joy, not only for you but also for your family!"
In loving memory of
