Dear Wanda..I just found out about your dear husband's passing.
It seems no matter how prepared we are for our loved ones to go, its never easy to accept is it? When Tina was Killed... I had to rely on someone else to give me the comfort I needed - I am praying for you to also have strength...and to remember that God doesn't abandon you in your time of need, he is what carries us through....so many times I have felt, I just can't go on and God has given me strength to carry on. I love you and through my prayers- I offer you the strength to endure what you must no matter how untimely it may be.

Wanda, I have not been in touch with you for several years, but I have thought of you and Bob many times, and I trust that you will be comforted by our Lord at this time.
I will write to you in the near future.
As the song goes: May the Lord bless you and keep you...at this time especially.
