Dear Aunt Kathy and family,

I am so sorry and saddened to hear of Uncle Tom's passing. I have been and continue to pray that the God of all comfort is comforting you and upholding you during this time of loss and mourning. I have only very fond memories of Uncle Tom and although I hadn't seen him for many years it was such a blessing to see him one last time last year. I pray he is with Jesus in heaven right this moment and that someday you will reunite with him there. I wish I had more eloquent words to express my sympathy and condolences. May you remember and cherish the good times God gave you with Uncle Tom and may this same God give you His peace which surpasses all human understanding to guard your hearts and minds in Christ Jesus.
