To The Wheatley Family;
I was so sad to hear of your loss. I remember Mr. Wheatley as such a kind, caring, wonderful man who loved his family very much and who was a good friend to many.
Your Husband and your Father has left behind a thousand moments that will live forever in your heart and I pray that these bring you comfort today and forever. No time on earth is long enough to share with those we love or to prepare our hearts for good-bye.
Please know that in this difficult time, you are in my thoughts and prayers. I'm sorry for your loss.
Death leaves a heartache no one can heal, love leaves a memory no one can steal.
