Dear Nancy,
We are very sorry to hear of your loss. What a wonderful hope we have to look forward to in the future when our Father, Jehovah, will reunite us with our loved ones. Even though we only met Ellsworth once he was a real joy to visit with. Keep up your good spiritual routine and Jehovah will help you get through this time of need. You are in our thoughts and prayers. We will look forward to seeing you again in the future.
Love,
