Dear Myrna,
I was so deeply saddened to hear about the passing of your husband. His name and your family were on my mind recently.
There are fond memories of our time together through the church and those many Sunday school activities for our son. (He is doing well and a believer.) It was always a joy to see you both there. I also know that my wife, who served on your staff, held him in the high regard and truly valued the time spent working alongside your family.
Please know that we are lifting you up in prayer during this incredibly difficult time. May the love of friends bring you comfort today and in the days to come. Until we meet again....
With deepest sympathy,
Dr/Mrs VICTOR K SMITH
