Jim,
I was so very sorry to hear the sad news about Lo.
Lo was always so sweet and kind- hearted to me when we worked together at SPSV.
She was always there for support and a kind word.
The love you and Lo shared was very special and should be an example to all of us.
My thoughts and prayers are with you.

Mr. McKenna, I'm sorry for loss. The last time I saw Mrs. McKenna and you was 2 years ago at the grocery store with my daughter. I remember how Mrs. McKenna was playing with her as we were talking.
Mrs. McKenna was a great person and she'll truly be missed. May God be with you and your family during this time. God Bless you.

Dear Jim,
I want to express my deep sorrow for you and your family's loss.
I knew Lo, for so long, while employed at St. Pats and will always remember her. She was one of the kindest people I have had the privilege of working with. In fact, I'll always be thankful for the long and warmhearted conversations we had in her office. Furthermore, I certainly won't forget how she always stood by me during the difficult times.
In sum, your loss is a loss to all who knew her. Just know that my thoughts are with you, and I'm sharing in this burden of grief.
With love and sympathy,
