To the Cimpaye Family I extend my deepest and heartfelt sympathies on the passing of your beloved husband, father and brother.

While words are of so little consolation at this terrible time, I do hope that the knowledge that your many friends are holding you in their thoughts and prayers will be of some small consolation.
