I know this time of grief is so difficult for you, And thinking of you hurting makes our heart hurt too. We can never really know how another feels. I only hope you know that our concern for you is real. I wish that there was something more that I could do To take away the sorrow that is weighing down on you. Although I cannot change things, this I can extend -- My loving thoughts, my heartfelt prayers for you and your family.
