Dear Family,
I'm sorry to reconnect with you on such a somber occasion. I was deeply saddened when I learned of the loss of Uncle Sam. May the memories you shared comfort you during this difficult time. I know there aren't words to console you when losing a loved one, but I do know that in time, you will find the will to smile again.
With love and heartfelt sympathies,
