To the family,

We are so sorry to hear about Cora's passing. What a wonderful woman she was and a gentle spirit. We regret that we cannot be at the funeral on Sunday, as we have other commitments we must be at. Our prayers and thoughts to the family. Blessings on you. She will always be remembered with loving thoughts.
