Dear Ginny and Neal,
You both have my sincerest condolences. Your Dad had an incredible spirit and will remain one of my most favorite people, as will your Mother. Your parents are together now, which is as it should be. Please know that while I physically cannot be with you on Saturday, I will be thinking of you both and will be there in prayer and spirit. I wish you peace at this most difficult time.
Respectfully and with love,
Dee
