I want to offer my condolenses to you, Mary, and your family on the loss of Devon. Denise and I enjoyed seeing both of you several times at Big Canoe over the years and still think fondly of those times. You were the first ones to know about our engagement - remember?
I know that he has passed on to his new life and will suffer no more. I will not be able to attend the memorial service but you and your family will be in my prayers. I will contact you directly in the near future. May God bless you and your family during these difficult times and give you the strength to live life the way Devon would want you to.
With Deepest Sympathy
Denise and Larry
