“Dearest Greg, Kathy, and Chris, I just learned of your mom’s passing, and have you and your loved ones in my heart and prayers. I absolutely loved your momma. She made a big difference in my life, and I’m so grateful for her loving spirit, not to mention her fudge and chocolate chip cookies. I can only imagine what a beautiful celebration you had today for her, and the beautiful life she lived. With love and gratitude, Katie Carr Lieberman”
