My dear Sister –
It sounds so trite to merely offer condolences, but we do want you to know that you and your families are in our thoughts and prayers. We didn’t know Robert well, but we are both glad that we knew him at least a little.
We also hope and trust that you will all receive the strength and comfort you need during this episode.
Love,
Charles and Pamela
