Dear Judith and Suzanne,

I was so sorry to hear about the passing of your beloved Mom, Delores—affectionately known as “Mums" to me.  Please accept my deepest condolences.

During my undergrad years in Maryland, Mums became a steady and comforting presence in my life. Our weekly calls were a lifeline—sharing our weeks, venting about school and work, and navigating the ups and downs of adjusting to life in America. She was always so proud of you both, keeping me up to date on your accomplishments and lives with a sparkle in her voice.

She was a beautiful mix of big sister and mother to me —loving, caring, funny, and wonderfully feisty. There was never a dull moment with Mums, and no topic was off-limits!  She was truly one of a kind.

Though it’s been many years since we last spoke, I will always cherish those memories and celebrate the incredible woman she was.  May you both find comfort in the love she gave and the legacy she leaves behind.

Lots of Love
