Condolences

I was sorry to hear of dad's passing. He treated me like a daughter and we had many great times together. I could talk about everything with him. I pray time heals the pain the family is in. I had not seen him in many years but always thought of him and Joan. My condolences go out to the whole family.

Aunt Joan, I was so sorry to hear about Uncle Sonny's death. I still remember visiting the restaurant and then getting to go swimming or watching the ducks! I know I haven't seen you all in so long, but I have wonderful memories. You are in my thoughts and prayers at this very sad time. Mariann (one of Dot's daughters)

Dear Aunt Joan,

I was very sorry to hear about the passing of Uncle Jim. I have many pleasant memories of way back when you lived in Swarthmorewood and then when you moved to Downingtown. Please know that you and your family are in my thoughts and prayers during this very sad time.
