Lilyheart's First Letter

Dear Mr. and Mrs. White,

It is with deepest sadness that I, William Lilyheart, write to inform you of the loss of your dear and beloved daughter Elisabeth.
She was a bright and cheerful child for as long as I had known her, always searching for new ways to explore the world and bravely opposing her terrible malady.
Sadly the battle was not to be won, and on this very last Ortus Elisabeth departed our mortal plain. May she continue on her blessed journey, ever curious as we have come to know and love her.
She was bitter knowing she could not write write to you, but was gladdened to hear my promise to tell you both how much she loves you, and that it would be wasteful to shed tears for her cause, for she had lived a joyful and fulfilling life.
The earthly remains of dear Elisabeth have been set right, as would be deemed fit for such a fine young woman, by myself, to spare you the cost of the embalming. Please view this as a token of my most sincere affection.

With heartfelt condolences, I am, honoured to be yours humbly,
