Dear Mike, words cannot express my feelings on the sudden and untimely demise of Lea. I truly enjoyed driving her to work the last time I was there. She was a very wonderful person and I pray the almighty for Her Soul To Rest In Peace. I have no words to console Michael and Danny. May God give you all the strength to tide over this tragic loss.

I would like to express my sincere condolences on the passing of your wife, Lea. Although I didn't know her, I recognized her gentle spirit.

Last year I also experienced the death of a loved one, my aunt, and know first hand how elusive comforting words can be. Still, I'd like to offer my deepest sympathies.

Please stay in touch.

Your friends, Kathy and Sean
