Crawford,

Please know that Tom and I are thinking of you at this time. Though we never knew your mother, she must have been a remarkable woman for she raised a wonderful son and businessman. We will keep you and your family in our prayers.

Mr. Knott,

I had no idea that your mother had died on the day that you met with me. Thank you for being so thoughtful of others at a time when we should have been comforting you. You have my highest regards. I will keep your mother in my prayers.
