Dear Fulmer Family,
I send you my deep sympathy for your loss. Mort was a great friend back in the days when I moved to Franklin Park from Chicago. He was very welcoming and polite - a soft spoken guy. Many years have passed and I will always have fond memories of him. My thoughts and prayers are with the family as you mourn his passing and pray that God will give you strength. Always remember the good times and celebrate his life. May he rest in peace.

I am deeply saddened to hear of your loss. Uncle Mort was an incredible man. Both my mom and dad grew up with Mort and they always spoke very highly of him. I am very honored to have known him and been a part of his life. My thoughts and prayers were with Mort and family during his down days and they will continue to be during your loss and always. May he rest in peace.

Love,

Dear Fulmer Family,

You don't know me, but I knew Mort. We went to St. Gertrude's Grade School. I will always remember him as being so handsome with his coiffed black hair, as well as quiet and shy. He was immensely proud of and attached to his black leather jacket. But I did befriend him when he finally spoke to me. And I am sure that he must have been the most wonderful spouse, father, friend, brother and uncle.

God bless you all in your grief and loss, and God bless my friend "Mort."

In sympathy with kindest regards,
Suzy
