Dear Brother and Sister Davis and Germaine,

I found out late that Mrs. Valentine had passed.
I am very sorry for your loss. But, I imagine Mrs. Valentine is happy to see those that left her behind. She too once felt the way that you must be feeling now. I know there are really no words to give you comfort at this time. Just know that you will all be in my prayers and I will pray that you find comfort in our Lord and Savior, who made us all. Lean on Him now as the days, weeks, and years pass. We shall all be together again.
