Dear Susan & Peter,
My most sincere condolences for the loss of your dear mother. I have the fondest memories of her from the days when we were all hanging out. We were so fortunate to have had such wonderful parents as we did. May she rest in internal peace with your dad now 🙏. Sending you both love and hugs during this difficult time.
Love,
Denise
Hi Susie snd Peter. Working with Mom was such a hoot. She was such a pissfire and I loved that about her. Said what she meant and meant what she said. Dad just sat by quietly. What a team. I will miss our phone calls that would go on long distance for hours. Had lots of catching up to do. My sincerest condolences to both of you and Alex and Tyler as well. Sue Sayles
Dear Susan, I’m so sorry to hear of your precious mom’s passing and so grateful for her peace at the same time. A life well lived spreading joy! You know she’s so happy to be reunited with your precious dad. They were such a hoot together! I can still see them clearly in the clinic with all of us and laughing. Your mom was always so kind to me through the years and I’m so very grateful I got to see the two of you recently and catch up. She was special. She seemed so at peace when we spoke and so happy with you. 💕 Hugs and love to all as you walk through this challenging time of transition…. With love, Cindy
