Dear Kurt,
I have spoken to Ruth several times and she has kept us abreast of Chiara's condition. We are happy to hear that she has been moved from intensive care. I know you are looking forward to Lella and Celso's visit. I'm sure it will help all of you to be together for a while. Are prayers continue to be with you and Chiara.

Kurt,
We often wonder why things happen the way they do. Sometimes there is no explanation. We just have to pray and to keep going. Be strong my brother for your daughter and her future.

Mr. Cherry & the Curti-Cherry family,
Words cannot change anything, but perhaps everyone's prayers and wishes will comfort you somehow. I met Elena when she visited her cousin in Florida. She was a friendly and sweet soul; I'm so sorry for your loss.

I was and am very deeply saddened that Elena was taken away this soon. I worked with her at Gardner Carton & Douglas and really loved her personality. My sincere condolences to the family and friends of Elena. Marilouise Scott

"Though it's hard to see the reason. Why things happen as they do, May it be comforting to know warm thoughts go out to you".
There is so little one can say to bring peace to your heavy heart today. But I hope you know that I send my warmest thoughts and prayers out to you and your family in the loss of your beautiful daughter. I can't imagine the pain you feel. I know that God is with you in your time of need (He is always there!)
