"Gary, Dale, Marlene, Joe, Cliff and Margie--please accept my deepest condolences. Our families grew up together in good ol' Hollywood--and we are all losing that generation of our families. Although incredibly sad and difficult to deal with, please know that your 'old' friends are thinking of you and keeping you close in prayer. Losing your 'mom' is truly a unique loss--even though you try to prepare for it...still it leaves an emptiness. I'm sure you're thankful for the many years you had with her and I'm sure there are plenty of good memories to cling to. Take care."
