To Donna and family.
We were very saddened by the news of your loss. Blake was a very dear friend to me over the years we worked together and was very dear to my sons Jeremy and Nicholas when they worked at the Country Club with him. No words can describe the loss you are feeling so if you just know that we are thinking of you and are here for you.
Your friends

Dottie, Jim, John, Nancy, Smith and Rosemary and Blake’s family,
I want you all to know how sorry I am for the loss of your brother. I did not know him as well as the rest of you, but I know he will be missed. All of you probably remember me, however it has been a long time since I have seen you.
Please remember that now Blake has eternal life and his days of suffering are over.
We will keep all of you in our prayers and May God be with each one of you in your time of sorrow.

Donna, It has been a long time since we’ve seen each other. The last time I saw your mother was years ago when my dad was in the hospital, she was so kind to drop by & check in on my mother. I understand your dad & mom invited them to the lake recently, which evokes memories of us all going when we were young. I noticed in the paper you have two sons, so do I. Tommy is married he’s 32 years old and Daniel is 23, and just dating. I am so sorry for your loss, and if there is anything I can do for you & your family please let me know. I would love to hear from you. Give my regards to Gail, and your mother & father. Fondly, Terry
