Dear Jack and family,
My sincere condolences with the passing of your dear wife, mother and grandmother. She was a wonderful neighbour to Bert and I while you lived next door to us. I remember her being soft spoken and kind; with a very strong faith in the God whom she served faithfully. I pray that you all will find comfort and strength from Him.
