Please accept my sincere sympathy for the aching sorrow of your loss.
Life is a journey, one followed along a path of love and devotions and ideals. But Martha's journey has not ended; it has, rather, merely taken a turn, and she waits for you, lovingly, in a better place.
Respectfully,
Thomas Martin
