Dear Mary,
We are sorry to learn of your mother's passing. Gail heard the sad news from Chris Erte.
Our thoughts and prayers are with you and Anne, Julie, and Tim (and his wife and children) as we remember your mother. We have two very nice memories of your mother. The first is when we stayed at your mother's home in Scarsdale and the second, was when you invited us to your family beach house in Sag Harbor.
When we were all in Scarsdale, we remember that your mother was so welcoming and made all of us a lovely breakfast before we went off to the parade in NYC. And Bill has vivid memories of his Sag Harbor adventure at your mother's house. He was up before everyone else and accidentally let the dog out. He ran after the dog and chased him all over the neighborhood. When Bill got back, your mother and Anne laughed and said that it was okay for the dog to roam on his own. Then, your mother gave Bill a nice big piece of coffee cake to renew his energy after all of that running. Both Anne and your mother thought that Bill's chase was pretty funny!
We also did not realize that your mother was such a chocolate lover. I certainly can relate.
We know that you are all busy making arrangements and trying to process everything right now, so we didn't want to disturb you with a phone call. However, we wanted to reach out to tell you that we are thinking of you.
We (Bill, Gail, and I) would like to honor your mother with a donation to the charity that your family has chosen and just read the beautiful memories that you shared on the Graham Funeral Home website. We learned that you have chosen Doctors Without Borders and we will send a donation in honor of your mother.
We will add this note to the memory wall set up by Graham Funeral Home.
Our condolences,
Marilyn and Bill (Gail already sent a note to Anne.)
