Dear Ross and family: so sorry to hear about your Mother’s passing. God bless and comfort you, during this time. In sympathy…
Lew was a gracious and loving woman. She loved me like I was one of her own and I loved her like she was another mother to me. My greatest memories in life include Ed, Lew, and their family. I would give anything to be there to weap with you and hug you. Thank you for sharing your mother with me. I have been blessed by her.
We have been very moved to learn Lew’s passing away. Lew was a wonderful, smiling and joyful person.
We will always remember the good times we spent at her house, and the last time we were together. We loved her.
Her family is in our thoughts. We give them our condolences and our sympathy.
