To the Parnell Family,
I am heartbroken to read of Mrs. Parnell's passing. I want you to know your family has my sincerest condolences and prayers from the bottom of my heart. There really are no words I can express to say what I feel except heartbroken for all of you.
Words, however kind, can't mend your heartache; however, take comfort in the knowledge that there will always be tomorrow, when you will see her again. And know that with God, his joy is eternally sealed; and cherished in your memories. Let the memories of the years you've shared wash over your heart and soul. Those we hold closest to our hearts never truly leave us. They live on in the kindness they have shared and the love they brought into our lives.
Let her spirit fill you with strength and love; may it help the pain decrease as each day that brings a glorious dawn and creates an inner peace.
Mrs. Parnell will be greatly missed by all that had the pleasure to know her.
Sincerely,
