"Karen and Todd and kids....I'm so sorry to hear of the passing of your beloved mom, mother-in-law and grandma. This will be a difficult few days, but please remember the good times you shared with her, and that you are lifted up by all your friends. Thinking of you especially on Thursday. Love, Kathy/Mrs. K"

"Todd and Karen, just wanted to send my condolences to you and your family. It is true that no matter what our age, losing a parent is never easy. Matthew 5:4 notes "Blessed are those who mourn for they shall be comforted", so I'm hoping that you will take at least some comfort in knowing that your mother (in-law) is now looking down upon you with a bright smile, proud of how your lives are turning out and looking forward to the time you will meet again. God Bless."
