Dear Family,
I am so sorry to hear about Marie's passing. Ever since I heard what had happened to her a month ago, she has been constantly on my mind and in my prayers. I knew Marie ever since grade school. She was always a gracious lady. I will certainly miss her. She was so concerned about her mother and took the best of care for her. To all of you, my deepest sympathy goes out to you. My the Lord's promises as stated in John 3:16 comfort you now and in the days, weeks, and months to come.
Sincerely,
Ian Hughes
