Please accept my sincere heartfelt sympathy for your family's loss of Dora. Dora was a lovely lady, and she was loved so much by Bob. Dora and Bob were such a close couple. I know that Dora has certainly missed Bob since his death. Bob took such wonderful care of Dora all his life--so I know he has been pleased with the care that your family has shown for her since his death. I am out-of-town this entire week on a family vacation at Myrtle Beach; therefore, I will not be able to attend Dora's funeral. When we saw Dora's obituary, my family and I wanted to extend our sympathy to your family.
Sincerely, Pat Honts and family
