Dear Patrice,
I was so sorry to hear about your loss. There were many afternoons that David kept me in good company here at the office. He was a wonderful man and will be sorely missed. Take care of yourself and know we are thinking of you.

Dear Patrice. I was so sorry to read of your great loss and send you my sincere sympathy. I enjoyed the time I spent with you and Dave as the guest of the Anslows. Dave was a very pleasant man and fun to be with. He will be missed by many, many people. May God be with you in this time of sorrow. Best Friends Animal Society is one of my favorite charities. I will send a donation in his name. Love, Justine
