Dear Swain Family,
We met Mr. Swain when we bought a car from him in Chesapeake. He was so very kind to us throughout the process that we've never forgotten him. We went back to the same dealership a year or so later to purchase another car from Mr. Swain, but he was no longer there, so we left.
Although we barely knew Mr. Swain, his kindness meant a lot to us. We are truly sorry for your loss.
