Dearest Pop and Family,
I am so very sorry to hear about Mom's passing. She will be deeply missed by so many people. She really touched the life of everyone that she ever met. I will miss her so very much.
Please know that you are in my thoughts and prayers. I feel privileged that Mom considered me her 'daughter'. I certainly couldn't have loved her more.
May our Lord see you through this most difficult time and shower you with His peace. God bless you, Pop. I love you all.

Fred, myself and the bowling association extend our deepest sympathy to you and your family. May God Bless All of You.
