Words, typed and read, seem inadequate to express the sorrow felt by the loss of someone close. No matter how, spoken or typed, they are meant sincerely.
May the love of those around you give support during this time, and help through the days ahead.
Our hearts, thoughts, and spirit are with you and yours. All who were close are cherished by both friends and family, and likewise you may lean on us for strength
