Dear Bob, I just heard about Diane. I’m so sorry for your loss. I don’t drive at night any more so won’t be able to attend her funeral. You are in my thoughts during this difficult time. Sincerely, Gail Wilson

I am so sorry to hear of the death of Diane. The passing away of a loved one is always with much sorrow. May we have faith and confidence in the Bible’s promise of a time when pain, sickness and death are a thing of the past (Revelation 21:3, 4). My condolences are with the family at this difficult time.
