"Dear Ruiz Family, We are so so sorry for your loss. Your mother was an amazing woman and we have so many memories of her generosity and kindness. She had a wonderful sense of humor and and a huge heart to match. We are sending you our prayers and hugs. We are so sorry to not be able to attend the visitation in person as we are back home in London. We so want to show our support for you the same way your wonderful family supported us last year when we lost Miguel and Romelia. Our two families go way back and we love you all very much.
