Dear Mr. Dauray and family,
Both my mother and I were saddened to hear about the loss of your wife. I know she had been ill for some time. I always looked forward to seeing you both at the 7 am mass each Sunday at St. Augustine's. I will keep her in my prayers.

Joe,
We are saddened to hear of your mothers passing. She will be with you like the sunshine you feel on your cheek is as warm as her kiss. May the soft winds that blow surround you like as though she was given you a loving hug. For now she is no longer in pain and her laughter will also echo at family gatherings.
