Instruction:
Write a short letter to a dear friend who just lost their Mother, only six months after losing their father.  Both of their parents were someone you and your family were also very close with.

Response:
There are no words to express our deepest sympathy at the passing of your Mother and our dear friend.  She was the strongest woman with the biggest heart and always treated us as if we were her own.  Her passing leaves a gapping hole in our hearts but know that we find peace knowing she is free from pain and reunited with your father, who we know was waiting to greet her with open arms.  Our childhood was richer because of both of your parents and more memorable because of their love.  We are so sorry that you lost your parents so close together and will forever remember them by their deep faith, their remarkable smiles and their love for everyone that was lucky enough to know them.
