Aunt Gloria,

Please contact me directly as I'd like to provide my condolences privately. My grandfather was a brilliant man of integrity, with a huge heart. He will be greatly missed by all.

All My Love

In My Pocket

I have memories in my pocket.
They rattle among the change.

My memories of you are treasures I carry wherever I go.

They are stored in bits and pieces, parts of a beautiful whole
They give me comfort when I think I am alone.

Yes, I have memories in my pocket, like so much other stuff I keep there.

But of all the treasures I have, it’s the memories of you that are the most precious.

Gloria,
I am so sorry for your loss. While I had not seen your dad for a long time (close to two decades now), I remember him with affection. My thoughts and prayers are with you, Mike and your family.

Dear Amirault Family,
My family and I wish to express our heartfelt condolences over the loss of Gloria's beloved father. We hope that sweet and fond memories will help to comfort you and bring you peace.
Gloria, your father's military service in the Navy during WWII and his work as a journalist for the Christian Science Monitor are testimony to his values and character. Your family certainly carries on his legacy of dedication, service, commitment, devotion, life-long learning, and love.
Please know that our thoughts and prayers are with you and your family.
Sincerely,
Kim, Pam, and Joanne Michael

Mr. Dole,
Sir, I didn't know you, but I would just like to say thank you for your service and sacrifice for our Country when you served in the U.S. Navy during WW II and for being a member of the Greatest Generation. And to your family and loved ones, I wish to extend my deepest sympathy.
