Dear Eileen, Mr. Fay, and family,
I am so sorry for your sudden loss. I admired your Mom for all of her generosity, wry commentary, and her ability to make people feel welcome in your warm and bustling home. She was opinionated, but never mean-spirited, intellectual, but never snobbish. She supported her kids in their many adventures but never smothered them; in fact I can almost hear her snorting over today's helicopter parents.
The beautiful tribute you wrote for your mom only made me love her, and all of you, even more.
Sincerely,
Jeffra
