Dear Michaelis Family,
I express my deepest sympathies to you at the passing of your dear Eleanore. She was a stalwart member of the Church. I was in the ward with her for many years and recently was her Relief Society ministering sister.
I know she is overjoyed to be with her husband again.
May the Lord comfort and bless you at this time of loss.
