I was so very sorry to hear the news about Lucy and Elodie. I honestly don’t quite have the words, but please accept my heartfelt condolences; my thoughts are with you all at this incredibly difficult time.
Lucy was such a lovely person—always bright and cheerful—and I will really miss seeing her each week when she came into school to teach piano. I really loved our little chats in the office. I feel very grateful to have known her, even in that small way.
Wish we had the magic words to bring Lucy and Elodie’s loved ones comfort, but we send you all our fond regards and sympathy.
Sorry for your loss
