Dear Rene and Family,
Please know that my thoughts and prayers are with you during this difficult time of loss. I remember how devoted you were to caring for your beloved parents and I know they believed you were the most wonderful daughter in the world. May God give you His peace and comfort in the days ahead and may the beautiful memories you have and the love you shared be a source of joy and solace for the rest of your life.
With my deepest sympathy,
Janice Bowers
