Jen and Family,
I was shocked and saddened to hear of the loss of your dad. He was truly a great man and will surely be missed by anyone who was touched by him. It seems like yesterday we were on a band trip and there was your dad to cheer us on in all we did. My heart is breaking for all of you.

Dearest Joyce and Family,
I was one of John's classmates. Johnny and I, like so many others, were childhood friends. He always had a smile and a hearty laugh. What ever was happening, John was always right in the middle it. He was a true friend to all of us and there were many happy times shared. I pray he will find everlasting peace in the hereafter and enjoy reunions with his other classmates and loved ones. May fond memories comfort you and John's other loved ones, until you can all be together again. I'm so sorry for your loss.
