    Dear Jason & Family,
    I just viewed the slideshow of your mother…what a masterpiece! I’m sure she would have been happy with it! The song choices were beautiful, for such a beautiful woman. She seemed like such a family person, as you are. You all seem lucky to have had one another in your lives. I wish your family the best, and I will pray for all of you.
