Dear Fezza family,
I'm a friend of Laura's from Junior League, and I'd like to send my deepest sympathies to your family at this time. I know that Myra is in God's loving embrace and that she is free from pain. May God be with you now during this time.

Our deepest condolences to Dr. Fezza and family from Dorothy Ziomek and family. Our prayers are with you all.
My deepest condolences to the Fezza family. May you find comfort in the beautiful words found at Revelation 21:3 & 4, where God promises us that He will soon eliminate all pain, suffering and death. While we wait for this promise to be fulfilled, may the fond memories of Myra comfort you and ease your pain.
I am very sorry for your loss. Although I did not know your loved one personally, I hope knowing that they are in our loving heavenly Father's memory will bring your family comfort during this difficult time. Very soon now we can look forward to God's promise at a Revelation 21:4: "… Death will be no more, neither will mourning, nor outcry, nor pain be anymore, the former thing gave passed away."
