Dear Ann,
My sympathy on the death of your beloved husband. We talked about his dying at our class reunion on Saturday and everyone felt bad for you. I regret that I could not get to the funeral home on Monday to express my sympathy in person. Be assured of my prayers for you (and for him). May God's peace and strength be with you in the days ahead.
