Dear Frodi,
It was a real sorrow that I heard this morning
of your great loss. I knew your mother was ill,
for your brother told me several weeks ago.
However, as he at that time did not seem to
think the illness was very serious, the news of
your mother’s death came to me as a shock.
You have my sincere and heartfelt sympathy,
my dear fellow, in your sorrow. I know you
will feel it deeply, for you always thought so
much of your mother and loved her so truly. I
feel it also as a personal loss to myself, for
your mother was always very kind to me. Her
death must be a terrible grief to your father,
too. Please assure him of my sincere
sympathy.
Words, I know, are poor comforters. “The
heart knows its own sorrow”, and in such
sorrows we are always alone. However, it is
not mere words when I say that I feel with you
in your sorrow.
Your sincere friend,
Jean
