Dear Bill, MaryBeth, Michael, and Nick, Please accept my deep, heartfelt condolences for you and your entire family. I'll always remember your beautiful mother as a true lady: warm, gracious, loving, devoted to her family, and yes, forceful. She'd have to be in order to raise her mighty children. I'll be away on business, but my thoughts will be with all of you as you pay tribute to her over the coming days. I wish you much peace and comfort. Love, Joe
