Dear Rachel,
I was heartbroken to hear about the passing of Lou. Please accept my deepest condolences during
this
difficult time. Losing a beloved pet is never easy, and I can only imagine the pain you are feeling right now.
I will always cherish the memories I have of Lou. I remember those sunny afternoons when we would take him for long walks in the park, and he would happily chase after the squirrels. His playful energy and affectionate nature brought so much joy to everyone around him. He had a remarkable way of making us all smile, even on the toughest days.
If you feel up to it, I would love to invite you to join me for a walk or grab a coffee sometime soon. It might help to talk and share some fond memories of Lou together. Remember, I’m here for you whenever you need support.
Take care of yourself, and know that I’m thinking of you.
With heartfelt sympathy,
