Dear John,
I have been away and upon my return was so very sorry to hear that Sylvia passed away. She was a lovely and kind woman. I always enjoyed our conversations at OLLI. She was intellectually engaging, and it saddened me to see her physical pain. I will always remember her fondly.
With sincerest sympathy,
Danalee

John,
Linda Williams told me of Sylvia's passing. I am so very sorry. I don't know if you remember me, I was a classmate at OLLI a few years ago. I cannot make it tomorow evening due to a very important commitment, but I want to be there. Again, so very sorry.

John,
Marie and I share the sorrow and grief that you are experiencing at this time. We were VERY saddened at the news of Sylvia's passing. We will miss seeing her in our Spanish Conversation Course at OLLI. We always hoped that you BOTH would return one day. Both you and Sylvia are in our prayers, and I'll ask our St. Thomas More, Sarasota, Florida Choir members to pray for her at Practice on Thursday. We present petitions every Thursday, after Practice. They are an awesome Group. Sorry we can't be there with you at this time. We don't get back to Silver Spring until April 8th.
