Dear Ones,
I just found this sad news and want to send my love and prayers your way.
You might not remember me but I babysat for you all and we were next door neighbors for a while in Evanston. Your dear parents were special to us during our wedding and I was just sharing the recipes you Mom gave me as a shower gift with my daughter.
I am so sorry about your brother.

Words truly aren't enough to express my deepest sympathies and those of the Gill family.

The years may have passed, but the love for your family and great memories remain strong in our hearts. I know you'll get through this trying time (as we always do).
