Not sure what to say?

Bill, Jim, and your families- Betty was a very special cousin to me, with her sweet smile and loving attitude. May this thought bring some comfort as you recall happy memories: "Those we love don't go away, they walk beside us every day." God be with you.

May God bless you and your family in this time of sorrow.

As the days and weeks pass, and as you return to life's routine, may you continue to feel comforted by the love and support of family and friends. I'm thinking about you little brother. Love you. Jean
