Condolence: Dear Mike, Kenny, Joe, Paul, Bill, and Tommy, please accept my sympathies at the loss of your Mom. "Mrs. Trela" was a wonderful woman, exceptional mother (look at how nicely the 6 of you turned out - each a great, gentle man!), and great neighbor. I regret that I will be unable to be there to look each of you in the eye, shake your hand, and let you know that I feel your loss. Your mom always had time and a word for me, I appreciated that then and fondly recall that now. Being a "next-door neighbor" allowed me to see (even when just home visiting) how hard a worker she was, caring for you, and tending so nicely to her garden. I wish each of you peace, comfort, and strength. And for your Mom, I am simply happy for her being reunited with your Dad. Sincerely, Mike

Condolence: Mike, Joe, Ken, Paul, Bill and of course, Tom.

I am so sorry that I won't make it up to say goodbye to your Mom and Hi to all of you. We go back A LONG WAY. I remember your Mom with great affection. I know that Paul and Bill and all of you did an amazing job of taking great care of your Mom in her latter years. In this day and age, for a woman to live this long and be able to remain in her own home is extremely rare and a tribute to her but also to you! I am sorry for your loss however I also feel compelled to say, "Well done gentlemen."

Gary and Michael send their best. I know Mom will see you this week.

I hope you can find peace in knowing how good you were to her.

-Mark
