Susie,

I am deeply saddened to hear about the passing of your aunt. Time will remove the sting but the void will never be filled. Please feel free to call me anytime should you need a friend that can help since I've been there and stay there everyday.

There are no words that can magically lift a heavy heart but knowing her pain and suffering are now resolved must help.

Your friend!
