Dear Mike and family,
So very sorry to hear about the loss of your Mom. She was such a sweet person and we know she’ll be missed. Our thoughts and prayers are with you during this difficult time.
There are people you meet in life that leave a special mark. Your mom was one of those people. I had the honor of meeting and getting to know her through work. She would come to the Amsterdam office of Amsterdam Printing to help with events being held there. She was a very soft spoken person and always with a ready smile. My condolences to you, her family. I know she had to be special in your lives because the love she showed to others, not her family, certainly had an impact. May you wrap yourselves in the precious memories that you have.
So sorry for your loss, my thoughts are with you all
