Dear Perry and family,

I'm very sorry to hear that you've lost your father so soon after losing your mother. In the seven years that I worked in Perry's Delicatessen I truly came to respect and admire both of them. They were good people of business and good parents. I remember the customers who used to come in and how your parents took the time to chat with them, many obviously good and longtime friends. There was always a friendly family atmosphere about the place. I enjoyed my last few years where you and I worked together. We worked hard but had fun too.

Please accept my sincere sympathy on the loss of both your father and mother.

Ian Hall and family.

Dear Schneider Family,

I'm sorry to hear that your father died so quickly after your kind mother.

I've known your parents for over 55 years as clients and good business people and I'm sure they'll be missed by your family.

May peace be with you.
