My Dearest "Son", Mike,
I was so sorry to read about the loss of your dad in the paper today.  I didn’t realize he was in such bad shape.  That’s what I get for not keeping in touch with you.  You & your family are in my prayers at this difficult time in your lives.  May you find peace in knowing that he’s in a better place now.  Please call us when you get a minute, as I don’t know your phone#.
I hope to see you soon.  We have so much catching up to do.

I love you sincerely…
your "other Mom"…Patty
