Dear Arlene, I am so sorry for the loss of your father. I wanted to send my condolences and let you know I am thinking about you and your family. Your dad is now part of you.
Dear Brenda – a very alert Mary informed us of your dad’s death…I hope your family will eventually find some peace now that his suffering has ended…I am certain that he has found the ultimate peace! I was fascinated to read that your dad worked at MB Electronics, since my former father-in-law was some sort of bigshot there–we’ll have to talk! I wish you and your family all of God’s blessings at this sad time. Nancy Goss (one of your 5:10 pm bus buddies)
