Dear Diana and family,
It was with a great sense of loss when I heard of my friend John's death. I wanted to let you know that you have my greatest sympathy, and my heart is truly saddened. John was more than just a wonderful person; he was my friend, and, I know that his passing will not only leave a void in my life, but in the hearts of all those who knew and loved John, especially his family. John will always remain within my heart, and I have included John and his family in my daily prayers. John is now with God in a better place with his suffering gone. May God give you strength because, God will never give us more than we can bear, and He is with you and your family through every step in your life. God gives us examples on this earth of how we should live our lives and John was one of the best examples I know of God's gift to this world.
My sincere thoughts and prayers are with you and your family. With my deepest sympathy,
Your friend,
John Burroughs
