Nina and I are very sad to hear about your loss. We will be making a donation in your mother's memory. You and your family are in our thoughts and prayers. I know the pain from the loss of your mother is indescribable and deep. It's proof of how much you all loved her. Please let me know if there is anything I can do for you or your family.
I also wanted you to know that when I shared the news with Nina, she said "I know my auntie Nina will take care of her".
With much warmth,
Heidi and Nina
My thoughts and prayers are with you all. I know Ann will be missed. With deepest sympathy.
