Dear Gail and Warren,
I am so sorry to hear of your mom's passing. I was thinking of her and Tammy the other day. I used to visit and she would make chocolate cake with sour milk. Then she'd leave a huge dollup in the bowl for me to have. I'm sure I was a pain, but she never chased me away.
Again, I am so sorry. My thoughts and prayers are with all of you.

Dear Warren and Gail,
We are very sorry for the loss of your mother. She was a wonderful person who I remember fondly from my time shared with your family and our group of friends at the lake.
Jill and I hope and pray that your mom's passing is a time of fond memories and appreciation for the great mom and good person that she was.
We are very sorry that we will be out of town on Saturday and will not be able to attend your mom's service, but our hearts and prayers are with you.
