To Joe:
Condolences to you and your family from Susan and me.

Joe,

I am so shocked and dismayed at the news of Elaine's passing. I still remember how cordial she was to me when I came to visit your dojo.

My heart, thoughts and prayers are with you and your family in this hour of tragedy.

All we can do is to hold onto memories for some degree of comfort.

I know that you will have the strength to get through this very sad and difficult time. If I can be of any help, do not hesitate to call upon me.

In Sympathy,
