“Marie, Janice, Pam and All – Mom and I are so very sorry to hear about Liz. We were both very fond of her, especially Mom. Liz (and Marie and Janice) were so very helpful to Mom when my Dad died years ago, and from what Mom has told me over the years, my Mom would not have made it through a very rough time without all of you.
