Lindsey and Cassie, I am so sorry for your loss. I am thinking of both of you, your mom, and of course Nick. You are in my thoughts and prayers.

Dear Lindsey, Cassie and Julie:
My sympathies to all of you. As you know, Michael and I go back many years and both my brother, Jay, and I have lots of fond and fun memories of him. Please believe that he and Nick are both at peace, and finally calm. You girls are the future he hoped to have, and Julie was the gift that gave us all three of you children to know and love. Be strong, be safe, be healthy and happy. Life is meant to be enjoyed, even with the bumps along the way. I wish you all peace.
Love from all of us,
Judy, David, Adam and Michael Wolf and Jay Maedge

I am so sorry for the lost of your dear loved one. It's comforting to know that God cares for all of us and losing a loved one is something we cannot get used to. The Bible gives us hope that one day we can see our dear loved one again. On behalf of all mankind Jesus surrender his soul for many. John 15:13 says “No one has love greater than this, that someone should surrender his soul on behalf of his friends.” Truly I am sorry to hear of the loss of your dear loved one and I hope these few words will bring you comfort and hope.
