I hope this letter finds you well though I'm assuming considering recent circumstances it may not. My mother mentioned having seen you recently and told me of the news. I'm sorry to hear of your loss. I'm sure it must not be the easiest of things to handle, especially with young children.

My mother said to pass along to you that should you need anything, to let her know. The same goes for me. I know that my being in London could be something of a hindrance but I would still like to help if you need it. Perhaps a visit with my dog would be fun for the children? Though.. that may be overstepping. Forgive me if I did.
