Hello Jack and family,

I want to leave our condolances to you and your family. It's difficult to lose the one you love. I hope you will find the strenght in your faith to go on.
I was astonished by the resemblance of your wife and mother to my mother and her older sister Pat (Pietje) who died las year. I hadn't seen pictures of Jeanette lately.

Dear Jack and family,

My sincere condolences with the passing away of Jeanette. Her passing away is a passing into the glory with her Lord and Saviour!
May that comfort be with you every day and night! Nothing can separate us from the love of God in Christ Jesus our Lord (Romans 8).

Sincerely yours,
