Heather and Nate,
I have a lot of great memories of your mom growing up. I will never forget them, and her. She was beautiful, kind, gentle, and I loved her laughter! We have all been blessed to have her in our lives. May you find peace in the days ahead. If there’s anything at all you need, you know where to find me.
