Dear Robin,
I am so sorry to hear about your loss. My cousin Patti e-mailed me with the news. I lost my father 3 years ago so I know how difficult this time must be for you. I have very fond memories of both your parents when we were young and you lived across the street from Brad. Although we haven't seen each other in years, I just wanted you to know that I was thinking about you.
