Not sure what to say?

And after all this time, I'm wondering how you are doing, Farida.... Rosalie

Have thought of you over these years and wonder how you and the family are doing. Would you believe, many years ago, I thought your Satu and my son might become a team. If you still have your old contact list, all my info remains the same. Rosalie

Dear Farida,
Was looking through my memory book and found correspondence from Pentti -- words about his work and his family. Such warm expression, like he was here with me. So I "googled" him and found this notice. Such a shock, such a loss.
My sincerest sympathies.-

Hello Farida. I am so sorry for your loss. I was Pentti's secretary at U of A and he was the sweetest man. I loved that he translated Finnish poems into English and in fact he presented me with one of his works. Such a loss. <3

Dear Farida and family,

I was shocked to read in Monday' s paper of Pentti's death. Gerry so much enjoyed their work together in Physiology & Biophysics at Dalhousie. Strangely enough they were only a few weeks apart in age and Gerry died one day before Pentti. And only recently he was discussing Pentti's many contributions to Cardiology.

My sincere sympathy, Andree Klassen

The Rautaharju Family have my deepest sympathy. Philippines 4:6,7 says that God has the peace that excel all thought and guards the heart, may that peace be with your family during this difficult time.
