To The Gendle Family,
It was such sad news to hear of everyone's loss. My thoughts and prayers are with all of you.
Those we love don't go away,
They walk beside us every day...
Unseen, unheard, but always near.
Still loved, still missed, and for ever dear.
I do hope some comfort comes sooner that later.
