To the Ryan family,
It saddened me deeply to hear of the loss of my dear friend, Nancy. She was my friend, my confidante, my 'play sister' and I loved her dearly. She left me with precious memories which I shall cherish forever. And though she is no longer here in body, she will forever be with us in spirit. My thoughts and prayers are with you at this most difficult time.
Love and strength to you all,
Serena
