Dearest Tommie,
We just read in the paper about your sister. We are so sorry. You have our deepest sympathy. Cherish your memories. You are in our thoughts & prayers. Give our condolences to your family. We love you.
Dear Judy, I was so sorry to read about the loss of your wonderful Mom. She is now in Heaven with your wonderful Dad. They were special Christian people. Our thoughts and prayers are with you.
Dear Judy and Chuck, Words cannot express the sympathy we have for the family over your Mothers passing. I remember many times over the years spending time with Sarah and Jimmy. They such grand people. If the world were populated with Sarah’s and Jimmy’s it would truly be Heaven on earth. I shall always remember how Sweet and Loving they were and the picture of them in the paper is how I see the both of them together in Heaven now. God Bless you both and help you through this difficult time.
