Dear Madam!

I have just read about the incredible misery that has struck yourself and your dear mother. Please accept our heartfelt condolences. If only there was a way to comfort you, but only time can do that. It is simply horrendous what befalls some of us. Please give my warmest regards to your poor mother. I am deeply feeling for you and sending
you my best regards,
Yours,

Frieda Hiemesch

Best regards from my husband, who joins me in expressing our heartfelt condolences
