To the Family,
I just learned of your father's passing. Your father and mother were the best. They made our day each and every time they visited with us and brought a smile to our faces. We loved them both. We mourned with your father, as your mother began to fail and cried with him when your mother passed. We will miss them terribly, but just knowing that they are together will bring back the smile they left for us. God bless!

Dear Bob,
(Why do I feel like I should call you "Bobby?") I suppose it's because I still can hear your mother's voice referring to you by your childhood nickname. And her eyes would twinkle when she said it. I wanted to offer my sincere condolences on the passing of your dad. The world - indeed, my world - will be just a little bit darker without his presence. I have so many great memories of your folks, from childhood to recent years when we would bump into one another around town. I will miss their kindness, their love of community (especially of the Camelot children), and their never-ending supply of encouraging words. I'm so sorry for your loss.

We were so sorry to hear of your father's passing. My father, Charles Frey, worked with your father at Western Electric. We met your father at the Trexlertown Mall one evening and he told us where he worked. I asked if he knew my Dad and he was so excited to tell us that my Dad called him every year on his birthday and sang to him even after they retired. They had a mutual respect for each other. Please accept our deepest condolences.

Dear Bob,
I was glad that I had a chance, however briefly, to meet you last week. I'm sorry about your dad. He attended a couple of bible studies I taught, but regretfully, I didn't get much of a chance to become better acquainted with him.
I pray that God's good comfort in Christ will be yours during these days. Thank you for your gracious care and concern for your dad, I'm sure he appreciated it deeply.
With my sincere sympathies,
Pastor Jake and the larger Fellowship Community staff.
