Dear Claire,Bobby and Colbert family,
I’m sorry to hear of Mary’s passing. She always took the time to make me feel welcome when you so kindly invited me to your family gatherings. I looked forward to having some of that wonderful pudding/custard that she made.
She was a lovely, gentle lady. May she rest in peace.
God bless your family.
