Dear Family:
Words are sometimes not enough to really convey my feelings for your loss. It is my hope that knowing I truly care and am praying for you at this time somehow makes the days ahead a little brighter. A family bond is so very special and we must remember that "God" truly knows and cares about us during this difficult hour.
