To the family of the late Mrs. Almeta Mays Smith I am so sorry for your loss. When the enemy death strikes, our grief can be great even though we may believe in the resurrection hope. And we can have confidence in the resurrection because Jehovah God guarantees it because he resurrected Jesus as the scripture brings out at Acts 17:31 So trust in the God of all comfort and he will see you through this difficult time.

Dear Uncle John:
I know that you do not remember me.  I was a very young girl the last time that you saw me.  I am your brother Troy's youngest daughter.  Minnie told me of your loss.  My thoughts and prayers are with you at this time.
Your niece,
