Dear Rob and Mark,
It has been my pleasure to know your mother for many years as both a client and a friend. She was ‘sharp as a tack’, as the saying goes, and such a delightful person to be with. She will hold a lingering spot in my heart and mind as one who touched my life in a very special way.

I am so sorry for the loss of your dear loved one. It's comforting to know that God cares for all of us. The Bible gives us hope that one day we can see our loved ones again. On behalf of all mankind Jesus surrendered his soul. John 15:13 says “No one has love greater than this, that someone should surrender his soul on behalf of his friends.” Truly I am sorry to hear of the loss of your dear loved one and I hope these few words will bring you comfort and hope.
