Dear Mr. & Mrs. Henry, Tricia, & the Gresham family,

I was very shocked and saddened to hear about the passing of Elise. Although it has been many years since I have seen Elise, I remember her fondly. I think one never forgets one's school friends, and I shared many years (K-12) with Elise at P. K. Yonge.

Very recently my own husband passed away, so I do know first-hand the horrible grief you are all going through right now. Know that you are in my thoughts and prayers.

Blessings,

Dear Mr. and Mrs. Henry, Trisha and family,

I was so saddened to learn of the loss of my childhood friend. I have so many fond memories of growing up with Elise, walking to your home in Kirkwood and enjoying something delicious that Cherry-Lee had prepared. I pray that during your grief God will bring to your mind memories that will fill you with joy.

May the Father of compassion, and the God of all comfort, bring you His peace which surpasses all understanding and guard your hearts and mind in Christ Jesus, who is Lord over all.

Much love and prayers,

Sharon
