Dear Ivy,

I felt so sorry for you, I've got tears in my eyes.
That's not bad for me, because it connects me to feeling for you.

My mother also died much too young and very suddenly.
I had a close connection with her.
I also often think of questions I should have asked her when it was still possible. And I can also think of loving sentences that I should have told her when it was still possible.

I'll give you a hug.

Werner
