Dear Michele & family please accept my heartfelt condolences during this difficult time. My thoughts and prayers are with you. Michele I'm sending you this poem to keep close to your heart. It's called "Mother's" Love Leslie xoxo
Your Mother is always with you.
She's the whisper of the leaves as you walk down the street,
she's the smell of certain foods you remember,
flowers you pick and perfume that she wore,
she's the cool hand on your brow when you're not feeling well,
she's your breath in the air on a Cold winter's day.
She is the sound of the rain that lulls you to sleep,
the colors of a rainbow, she is Christmas morning.
Your Mother lives inside your laughter.
And she's crystallized in every tear drop.
A mother shows every emotion....
Happiness, sadness, fear, jealousy, love, hate, anger,
helplessness, excitement, joy, sorrow....
and all the while,
hoping and praying you will only know the Good feelings in life.
She's the place you came from, your first home,
and she's the map you follow with every step you take.
She's your first love, your first friend,
even your first enemy, but nothing on earth can separate you.
Not time, not space....not even death!
My deepest condolences to you and your family at this very difficult time. May the peace of Christ dewell in your hearts. My prayers are with you.

Dear Jennet and family:
I am so sorry to hear about the death of your mom. I know that she has been in declining health, but it is still always such a shock and loss when one's mother dies. I do hope that the wonderful memories of her life and your life with her will soon be more predominant than the pain of her passing. We are all thinking of you and family and our deepest, warmest sympathies are will you. Most sincerely, Nancy Hood, George Brown College
