Ed and family,
I just recently heard of your mother’s passing and am sorry for your loss. I will always remember her as a joyful person, dedicated to her family, and so welcoming whenever I visited to hang out with my wonderful friend Paula. Hospitality was definitely one of your mother’s gifts, even when she had so many responsibilities with her own family. I’m sure you will all be blessed with many special memories. May God’s peace and comfort surround you all.
