Dear Thelma and Family,
Was extremely sad and frustrated for a long time as I did not know what had happened. Just found out yesterday.
As the days and weeks pass, and as you return to life's routine, may you continue to feel comforted by the love and support of family and friends. Our thoughts and prayers are with you always.
In sympathy - Shernaz Mody

My thoughts and prayers are with all of you. Please take care of yourselves and each other at this difficult time.
