Dear Arthurs Family,
I would like to offer my heartfelt sympathies at the passing of George. Dan is my brother in law and he is a wonderful man and I believe he got that from the example of both his parents. I hope you find some comfort knowing he is in the arms of an angel in peace.
Thoughts and prayers,
