Dear Natalie,
What an honor, and pleasure, it was to help care for Charles over the last several months. Even though I met the two of you very briefly, I instantly felt welcome and comforted by your kindness. I felt like I was among family. Please know that my prayers are with you as you heal from the loss of your husband of so many, many years.
Please send Mary Hill my blessings as well.
