Dear Jennifer and family,
I was in Belk today and Janie told me about your dear, wonderful Mother. We have been out of town and I had no way of knowing that this had happened…I am so deeply saddened and I feel a great loss. I know you are all devastated. God be with you and give you strength through the hard times ahead. She must now be your quiet angel who will lift you to your feet when YOUR wings have trouble remembering how to fly. May all of you find peace within you and know what a beautiful person she was.
