Allen and Steve,

A brief thought on the upcoming anniversary of your moms passing. My sister and I will always be grateful for the friendship your mom and our mom shared. Your mom could always make my mom laugh and helped bring my mom out of her shell just a little bit. I know my mom valued her friendship a great deal. Regardless of her ups and downs, your mom always seems to enjoy life and that is a great legacy.

All the best,

Steve and Elaine

Dear Family:
We just heard of your loss. We are sorry we could not express our condolences in person. Please know that our thoughts are with you. I will always remember Mrs. Graveline as the nice neighbor who gave me my cat, Rhett, when I was a teenager. She will be greatly missed.

With Sympathy

I am so sorry about Jo. She was a great mom , a wonderful wife and as I grew older, a good friend. No matter when I talked with her, she always had a boundless sense of optimism combined with a thankfulness for all that she had, especially her beloved family and close friends. She always took the time to ask about Lincoln. I'll miss her. My thoughts and prayers go with you all.
