Leon, we are very sorry to hear about the loss of your Mother. It’s obvious from the amusing stories you’ve told about her that there has been an unbending love and bond between the two of you that very few Mother's and sons ever achieve. The loss of her company will surely leave a heartache that may never seem to heal, but we hope your thoughts of her smile and delight will help ease the pain and forever keep her close to your heart. Our thoughts are with you.

I'm sorry for the loss of your Mom, Leon. Although I had never met her, she must have been an exceptional person to have raised an empathetic and caring person such as yourself. Take good care, my friend.
