Condolence Messages
I just wanted to say how much I enjoyed working for your mom. She was a very special person. She would tell me lots of stories about growing up in Gaastra. I loved those stories. We knew a lot of the same people. She was like a grandmother to me. I think of her often and I know she is in a better place now. She will be missed. My deepest sympathies go out to everyone in her family. Sincerely, Lori Abata Quote

Love,
