Dear Eileen and Family
I was so sorry to hear that Ronnie has passed. I have such fond memories of parties and swimming in your back yard when I was a child. So sorry we don't keep in better touch. All our love and prayers.

Dear Powers Family,
I am truly sorry for the loss of Mr. Powers. Enjoyed meeting the entire crew at Tom and Susan's wedding. Mr. Powers spent some time getting acquainted and I got to speak with him several times over the last few years. Always a pleasure for me. Will miss his laugh.

Sincerely Yours,
