I read of the passing of your Loved One and wanted to express my sympathy to you and your family.

Although we do not know each other, I remember when I lost my best friend years ago. I received condolences from those I didn't know, and it was so comforting to me. Therefore, I decided to do the same thing in the hope that it may add to the comfort you receive from family and friends.

Best regards,
