Dear Charlotte, Miranda and Nathalie,

I was so saddened by Richard's passing. I didn't know him as well as others but I always enjoyed seeing his smiling face at the pool. I think he enjoyed being there and it was obvious that he was so proud of Miranda and Nathalie and their swimming abilities. He was a pleasure to speak with and was always friendly to me. I will miss seeing him around Ansley. My thoughts and prayers are with you during your time of grief and may his memory bring you comfort in the days ahead.
With loving thoughts of you all,

Dearest Charlotte,
My heart just grieves for you, Miranda and Nathalie. I am so sorry for the loss of your Richard.
Our family has great memories of you as neighbors in Sherwood Forest. The best was the Scavenger Hunt on your birthday before the girls were born. Richard had given you a set of drums, and Bo had the pleasure of briefly playing them.
Our love and prayers go with you and the girls--not only today--but always.

Charlotte, you probably do not remember me. I worked with you at the bank years ago. I remember when you and Richard got married. I was just an AA. I didn't know Richard real well, but always thought him to be a kind, gentle person with gentlemanly manners.

I pray that God will wrap his arms around you and the girls and you will feel his love during this time of grief. May God bless all of you.
