Not sure what to say?

Brett and Megan, I met your mom and dad when they hired me to take care of you when you both were very small. I stayed with your family for 4 years and really got to know your parents during that time. They were very kind and always a joy to work for. I am so sorry for your loss. Words cannot begin to heal the hurt that I know you and the rest of the family are feeling. May you all find peace in your heart, and the strength to get through this very sad time.

Brett & Meghan, I know it has been years but I remember your family from Latchkey. I cannot express how very, very sorry I am. Your parents were wonderful people and I know they will be greatly missed by many..My heartfelt sympathy. Diane Weston

I was a colleague and long ago friend with Michele and Mike. I took care of you both, Bret and Megan, when your mom and dad went white water rafting many years ago. I loved your mom and dad! I was absolutely devastated to hear of your loss. I am so very deeply sorry! I only wished I would have kept in touch over the years...but what a cherished blessing to have known your parents. May God comfort and strengthen you in the days to follow.
Will keep you in my prayers.
