Dear loving Angel,

My heart is saddened by this sad news. I'm so sorry to hear of the 
loss of your husband, but remember, loving one, he is with God now in heaven.

I will pray for you. This is hard, but God will see you through it.

He has great plans for you, even if you don't know right now what they are.

He will comfort you and lift you up.

Please know that we have missed you and we do love hearing from you.

Many lovings and squeezings for you, just lots and lots of love 
coming your way.

Love you,
Pat Ferguson
