Mr. McLean,
Sir, I would just like to say thank you for your service and sacrifice for our Country when you served during WW II-especially at Pearl Harbor. You and your fellow servicemen were the first to stand up to the Japanese. And to your family and loved ones, I wish to extend my deepest sympathy.

Dear McLean family,
Frank was a customer at Irving where I worked. I enjoyed talking to him and looked forward to him visiting. He will be missed very much. Bless you and your family at this time of sorrow.
