To the Napier family,
I would like to extend my condolences to you.
I was informed today of your mother passing and I regret that I did not know sooner. In the short time that I assisted with the care of your mother I could tell that she was a caring and strong woman. You really could not tell if she was feeling illl because she did not do any complaining about her illness in my presence.
I willl lift you all up in my prayers.
Peace and blessings
