  “Dear Shirley & Family,
  I was saddened to hear of Gary\\\'s death. I know he fought a valiant battle. I have been at my sister\\\'s place in Florida since the end of December, and I\\\'m still here. I believe you know them from Summerside Baptist Church (Carol and Clayton Nunn). For that reason, I didn\\\'t attend Gary\\\'s funeral or visiting hours, but I was thinking of you and praying for you. I do hope that God will continue to wrap His comforting arms around you. I\\\'ll see you soon, as I\\\'m home on the 19th.
  Love, Donna”
