May I send you my deep sympathy at this time and say that you have been in my thoughts ever since I heard of the death of your wife. I grieve with you, for I admired her greatly. I know you will be brave in your sorrow, for she would want you to be courageous. After the sorrow of losing her has become easier to bear, you will love to recall the many occasions when you were all happy together, and these memories will become more precious as time goes on. Just now I know it is hard to think you will ever be happy again. But you will be, and one of the reasons will be that you have had a wife who did everything she could for you and who would want you to be happy. Please extend my deep sympathy to your daughter and son.
Sincerely,
Cindy Ramirez and Melissa, Matthew and Margarita Willis
