Dear Fr. Majka,

I am so sorry for your loss. I know you will miss him. No matter when we lose our loved ones it is a difficult time. Unfortuantely I will be out of town beginning tomorrow morning and will be unable to see you personally, but I do want you to know that my thoughts and prayers are with you.

Blessings, Carol Palmer
