    Dear Kevin: I'm so sorry for the loss of your mom. I wish there were words to ease your sorrow. Saying sorry doesn't seem to be enough. She was a dedicated mother that went above and beyond for her son. I have always admired and respected her for that. I apologize for not being able to express my condolences in person. I will be thinking of her, as well as you and Camille during your time of grieving. Lots of Love & Hugs, Heather
