Dear Don,
We were so sad to just learn of Fearl's passing. I had prayed for her daily since she got sick again a few years back. I know you miss her so much but take comfort knowing she is in the presence of our Lord and no longer suffering. We know that she is healthy and enjoying her eternity with God! May the love of God, family, and friends carry you through your grief. If we can be of any help to you please let us know. Our thoughts and prayers are with you.
In deepest sympathy,
your neighbors
