Brother Silas & Family,

At a time when words are so hard to find know that you are cared for very deeply and loved greatly by so many. I can only feel some of the pain that you feel in the loss of Edith. While I may not know at times how to comfort you, the Lord knows exactly what you need. He will minister peace and comfort to you in many unexpected ways. He will walk with you through the coming days.

With heartfelt prayers and sympathy,

Brother & Family,

There is a heart that cares about you and the way you feel today. There is a heart that feels concerned in a warm and tender way. There is a heart that knows the sorrow that mere words cannot define…. And should you wonder whose it is, the heart that cares is mine. “Edith” will always live in your heart, in your memories, and in the way you see the world. May you find comfort in her soft presence all around you.

My love and prayers are with you all during this difficult time.

Love,

Sister Tincy
