"Dear Janet and family, I was so sorry to hear of the loss of your mother. I had by-pass surgery two weeks ago and was unable to attend the visitation last evening. Your mother was such a warm, friendly woman who was loved and respected by so very many. Our mothers were such special role models. They will be forever missed, but our memories of them will always be with us."
