    Dear Nia and Michael,

    Just as our thoughts were continually with you as you endeavored to support and care for Joe though the difficult past years of his illness, please know that you remain in our thoughts and prayers as you now face the grief of losing a son and a brother. Remember that we are only a phone call away.

    Michael, what a gift you gave your brother in the loving and compassionate nursing care you provided to Joe. Your laudable efforts maintained the comfort and dignity of Joe to the very end. We hope you can now rest and take comfort in knowing that you honored your brother’s wishes to remain at home with you and Nia.

    We are sending healing prayers and comforting hugs to you both.

    Love,
    Al and Maureen
