Not sure what to say?

I recently learned of the passing of John Sculley. I had the pleasure of working with John many years in the Desoto School District Exceptional Student Education Office. John was a very professional and kind person.
I will cherish the many fond memories.
My condolences to Lee and Family.

My sincere condolences to the family. May the God who binds up the broken hearted and comforts all who mourns sustain you during this difficult time

Dear Lee and family,
I was just thinking of John last week, when I saw his grandson's name on the Dean's list at SUNY Oswego.
My condolences go out to you and your family.
I am honored that John was my Godfather.
May John rest in eternal peace.

Dear Mike, Lisa & Family,
So very sorry for your loss.
May you find comfort in the
