My thoughts and prayers are with you all.
Earl and Muriel were wonderful clients for many years.
When my first child Jeffrey was born over 17 years ago, your parents came to my office with a gift of toys and matchbox cars. It remains the most thoughful thing that any of my clients have ever done and will always be one of fondest memories!
They were both such kindhearted, good souls.........
Respectfully yours,

Dear Sallymae, Ron & Family and David & Family,
Please accept my deepest sympathy. One of the toughest things we ever have to deal with as adults is the death of a parent. I know... I have lost both of mine. But you will have them with you always in thoughts and memory! That is for sure. Always remember the best of times and never dwell on the worst of times. Your Mom and Dad are now Happy together once again! They will both live in your hearts forever!
Your friend,
Kerry Rock

My sympathy to you. Muriel was a good friend to my Aunt Myrtle Harkness. I will always Muriel for her beautiful smile and kindness. I spent many times with her and your father at my Aunt Myrtles in Coventry. I know it has been a long time but I remember what a wonderful friend they were to my Aunt Myrtle. You were truly blessed to have the parents that you did.
Sincerely,
Candase Patenaude
