Dear Dorothy, Jennie, Bob:
Please accept my heartfelt condolences. You and your families are in my thoughts and prayers. Michael introduced me to his beloved Aunt Connie several months ago, and it had been my privilege to develop a friendship with her --though it was to be short-lived. She fought so courageously to recover, and I shall remember her always. May God 's strength be with you during this most difficult time.
