    Christine, Nancy and I send our heartfelt sympathy to you and your entire family for the loss of your lifelong soulmate. We know how close your family is and know you are all grieving, but that is the beauty of a close family. Your grief is shared and therefore a little more bearable. We are out of town this weekend and therefore not able to personally deliver our condolences, but you all remain in our hearts and prayers.
