Dearest Jean-
I was so very sad to learn of the loss of your precious brother, Ronald. When someone you love dies, it leaves an empty spot in your heart which could never be filled by any other person. Soon, in a new world of god's making, all pain, suffering and sickness will be gone forever. Until then, I will keep you in my thoughts and prayers.
