Dear Sabrina,
Please let me express my deepest sympathies to you and the children. I was shocked and shattered when I heard about Frank's horrific accident. I can't even imagine what you have been going through for the past ten days.
As you know, Frank and I have been colleagues and friends for the past eight years. His tragic loss leaves a terrible void in our office. He was so well-liked and respected by everyone who came into contact with him, both colleagues and clients alike. He had tremendous people skills, and as such, was a role model in our company and the industry at large.
I trust that, when they are older, the children will be made aware of what an outstanding person Frank was in his professional life.
Sabrina, please feel free to contact me if I can help in any way while you go through this very difficult period. I will support you in any way that I can should you reach out to me.
Also, please tell the children how terribly devastated all of us are here at the company due too their Father's tragic passing.
Sincere sympathy,
Darlene Francis
