I Did Not Know Ms. Smythe But I Know How Hard It Can Be To Lose A Loved One In Death So I Wanted To Say I Am Very Sorry For Your Loss. The Scripture That Has Given Me Comfort At Times Like This Is The One Found At Revelation 21:4 That Says, “And He Will Wipe Out Every Tear From Their Eyes, And Death Will Be No More, Neither Will Mourning Nor Outcry Nor Pain Be Anymore. The Former Things Have Passed Away.” So God Has Promised That In The Very Near Future We Will Never Have To Experience The Pain Associated With Death Anymore. I Pray That This Gives The Family Some Comfort During This Difficult Time.

Dear Family,
My Deepest Condolences At Gai’S Passing, She Was A Lovely Person, A Fine And Caring Doctor, And She Will Be Greatly Missed. I Had The Good Fortune To Choose Her As My Doctor Many Years Ago, And We Discovered We Had An Awful Lot In Common, Tennis, Silver Rings, Art, And The Search For Easing Severe Arthritis. I Was Devastated When She Told Me That I Had To Find A New Doctor. You Have My Deepest Sympathy, And I Will Make A Contribution To The National Parkinson’S Foundation. Sadly, Jody Hoyer

Dear Alex And Tory,
The Days Pass And The Weeks Pass. You Get Over The Shock Of Your Mother’S Passing, But Not The Loss. I Find That I Cannot Go Very Long Each Day Without Thinking About Her. I’M Sure That’S The Same With You.
Like You, I’Ll Experience A Strong, Lingering Grief Over The Absence Of Someone Who Was So Very Giving, Had Such A Compassionate Spirit And Was Always Interested In Others And Their Needs. You Can’T Replace That.
All The Best To You Both.
With Love And Wishes For Peace.
Mary
