To Dionne and family,
It is so hard to even type these words, my hands shake and my heart is heavy. I was crushed when you called with the news. Your mother, Valda, and I worked together as CNAs in Atlanta more than twenty years ago, and though life took us in different directions, her warm friendship and steady presence never left me. I will miss her deeply.
Dionne, I have watched you grow from a young woman into the loving mother you are today. Please accept my deepest condolences for you, your daughter Gabrielle, and your whole family. May the Lord bless you and fill your heart with peace. Please know your mother is always with you, she was so proud of you.
Holding you close in prayer and love,
Tula
