Dear Alberta and family,
In terms of geographical distance, this expression of sympathy likely comes from furthest away; but it comes from the closeness of my heart to you and your extended family when I say my prayers and support are with you. Take care.

To the Murphy Family, John will truly be miss, was a real good friend, haven't seen John in years, But when we would see each other which was many years ago we would talk about the old times. Playing ping pong in the basment when we was kids, or just hanging in things. My prayers and sympathy goes out to the family and this time of sorrow.

Aunt Berta and family,
Sorry we couldn't be there at this time of great sorrow. We know you will make it through this as you have such a strong family and large network of local friends and family for support. Johnny was loved by many, especially his nieces and nephews. He will surely be missed but not forgotten. May you all experience the peace that my favorite cousin is certainly resting within now. We will continue to pray for you all.

To the family of John,
I'm so very sorry for the loss of your loved one. I remember when I was a kid (im now 39) how exciting it always was when John came by the house to visit with my brother Kyle. It was always exciting to see him. He was an awesome extension of our family. John was a great person and will be truly missed.
With Love,
Crystal Gomes
