Dear Jim and family,
On behalf of Mom, Helen McLellan and the family, I send you condolences on the death of your dear Mother. I didn’t know her but I know she raised a wonderful, caring son so I can only imagine you are like her in many ways. May the wonderful memories you have of her be a source of celebration for completing her journey on earth and arriving at her heavenly home.
Our thoughts and prayers are with you.
