Dear Mona,

I was deeply saddened by the news about the death of Jack. I am so very sorry. This must be very difficult for you. Please remember that you are in my thoughts and my prayers.

Jack was such a kind soul, who will be greatly missed by all who knew him.

I know how much you will miss Jack, but you can take comfort and strength from the wonderful family you and he had together. I know their love will get you through this difficult time.

May God bless you and your family during this time and always.
