Dear John,
We are so sorry for the loss of your mother and of Aunt Paula! All within one week. You must be totally devastated. We are praying for you, that God will help and comfort you during this extremely difficult time. Life is so fragile. We had a great time with you and Aunt Paula and the family on the 4th of July. We will miss her so much, but we grieve with the hope of seeing her again in the resurrection when Jesus returns.
