Dear Dot,
I only met you for a brief moment outside the hospital about a month ago, my daughter and I were sitting on the bench outside when you came and sat beside us and told us about Norm. I have thought of you and your husband many times since then. I’m very sorry to read of his passing. I hope you have many, many wonderful, happy memories together and that you have love and support surrounding you during this difficult time. Your gentle soul touched mine that day, and as a stranger, I want to send you and your family my love.
Sincerely,
Emma
