Condolence: My deepest condolences to the Quinn family on the loss of your dear mother.

Condolence: Dear Donna, your mom was one of those sweet, little ladies that people can only hope to grow old to be like. Our heartfelt sympathy is with you and your family at this time.

Condolence: a reflection:

Presents

I give you an emptiness,
I give you a plenitude,
unwrap them carefully.
- one's as fragile as the other -
And when you thank me
I'll pretend not to notice the doubt in your voice
when you say they're just what you wanted.

Put them on the table by your bed.
When you wake in the morning
they'll have gone through the door of sleep
into your head. Wherever you go
they'll go with you and
wherever you are you'll wonder,
smiling about the fullness
you can't add to and
the emptiness
that you can fill.

Mom, your life and passing fills us with
both emptiness and plenitude... Both a blessing.
Love you always and forever.

Condolence: Our thoughts and prayers are with you as you deal with this enormous loss. Although it's difficult today to see beyond the sorrow,
may looking back in memory help comfort you tomorrow.

Condolence: It was an absolute pleasure meeting you and Kathy ... to meet the wonderful parents that made such a beautiful daughter :)
Hope to see you again ... have a fabulous day !!
