Dear Chad

I am so sorry for your loss.
Please give my sympathy to your mom and the entire Ellis family.

Vater unser im Himmel
Geheiligt werde dein Name
Dein Reich komme
Dein Wille geschehe
Wie im Himmel so auf Erden
Unser tägliches Brot gib uns heute
Und vergib unsere Schuld
Wie auch wir vergeben unseren Schuldigern
Und führe uns nicht in Versuchung
Sondern Erlöse uns von den Bösen
Amen
