"Bobby,
Sorry to hear of your mother's passing. When I first heard the news, I recalled the years we were neighbors, and the conversations I had with her,sitting out front of the store. Some peolpe don't understand my dry sense of humor but Wilma "got it". I think of those times still...and laugh.

"Bobby,

Just wanted to let you know that I'm thinking about you. I'll miss seeing your mom with you out and about in town now. She was an extra special woman.
