Dear Manuel,
When the one you love passes after a long battle with disease, your heart is heavy, while at the same time you feel a sense of relief that they are finally at peace and the suffering has ended. Debra's spirit is, and always will be, reflected in your children. God bless you and your family. May you find comfort in each others love and the love of those around you.

Dear Manuel,
My husband and I would like to send our deepest sympathy to you and your family. Your words to Pat touched us both to tears and we wept thinking of you and your beautiful children. May your wonderful memories keep her close to your hearts always.

Dear Manuel and Family,
I know I cannot find the right words to express my deepest sorrow for your loss. I do understand the pain that you are feeling as I lost my mom to cancer at a young age - and I still miss her dearly. Yet you will continue on, as you must, and life will find a way to fill the emptiness in your hearts with joy and love that will be deeply felt and cherished all the more because of your loss.

Dearest Pietra family,

There are no words to express the disbelief we felt as we learned of Debbie's untimely passing today.
What an honor and privilege it was to become acquainted with her over the past few years. Our fondest memory of Debbie was at the back gate of your home when Fabian would come over to teach guitar. With puppy dog tails wagging and Debbie's bright smile and indomitable, positive spirit to greet us she always made us feel so welcome. Her courage in the midst of the trial placed before her was awe inspiring. May the Lord bless her and keep her in His gentle hands and may you find His comfort for the void her absence must bring. Please don't hesitate to call if we can be of any service during this difficult time.
