Kim, I am writing to extend my deepest sympathies to you and your family. I was so very sad to hear about your daughter Sara. I didn't have the honor of knowing her but I recall you speaking very highly of her. Please let me know whether there is anything I can do to help during this difficult time. You are in my thoughts and prayers. Although it's difficult today to see beyond the sorrow, May looking back in memory help comfort you tomorrow. May knowing you're in the hearts and thoughts of others help you and yours through this time of sorrow. Sincerely, Cheryl Belisle
