"Linda, I was sad to hear about your mother. Words can never really help but they let you know that those who care about you are thinking about you and your family. I sure miss the old days when we picked strawberries at your farm. I think I ate more than I crated. I really tried to get to the funeral home to see you again but it wasn't to be I guess. I hope your family is well and happy. Love Bunny"
