Lucia & family-
My thoughts and prayers go out to you and your family during this difficult time.
Jennifer, Greg, Jacob, and Sara,
We are so sorry for your loss. While we didn’t know your mother, we know the daughter that she produced in you, Jennifer. You have a gentle and beautiful soul, Jennifer, and we’re sure your mother had a lot to do with that.
We hope and pray that you will be able to find peace when things seem chaotic, and solace in remembering all of the special memories that you treasure in your heart of your mother.
May the peace of God be with you all in this difficult time.
Sincerely,
Carey and Tom Sullivan and family
May she Rest in Peace in that Place that Surpasses all Understanding!
With Love,
Aunt Suzy and Jerry

Mr. Richardson, Lucia, Jennifer, & families-
I was so sorry to hear of your loss. Corliss was such a kind and loving woman and I am honored to have known her. I have been keeping all of you in my prayers.
Much Love,

When my mom died I so very much appreciated that people thought of her and me, but the greetings were sometimes hard to take. Still, I really wanted to agree with the comment offered above from the Sullivan family. I didn’t know your mom, but I know you to be a kind person and a gifted teacher. This is enough reason, though certainly not the only reason, to give thanks for her life, which I will do.
