Dear Mike,
We would like to extend our deepest condolences in the passing of your Father. Please allow us to be there for you in the days and months ahead, whenever needed. Although we did not have the pleasure of knowing your Father, we do know he raised a son to be proud of. We are sure your Father was more then comforted during his final days just knowing that he had you to rely on, to love, and care for him. Thank you for allowing me the privilege of meeting your Father before he passed.
Your Friends
