Dear Mary Ella & Family:
Please accept my most compassionate condolences on the recent passing of your husband, Marvin. I can hardly begin to imagine the depths of your sorrow, none the less, I hope that the memories of your many years together will bring you comfort and will be able to soften the magnitude of your loss in days to come. Surely Marvin's angelic spirit will watch over you and his loved ones from on high. Death cannot steal the good times, nor the wonderful memories that will forever live in your heart and the hearts of Marvin Jr, Margo and Marcelle, family members and close friends. If I or a family member can be of assistance to you in any way, do not hesitate to reach out.

My dear Mary Ella and Family,
Even though I have lost many loved ones, I can't imagine the black cloud of loneliness hovering over your hearts right now. Marvin's death is going to take a long time to sink into my mind. It will take much longer, I know, to sink into yours.
I have to believe that he has joined his beloved brother in that holiest of places, where you shall one day see him again.
Most sincerely,
