Rebecca,

I'm very sorry to hear about your father, we had some nice times together going out to eat and talking with both your parents. Those are some times I shall not forget.
I'm thinking about you....

Dear Rebecca,

We were sad to hear of your Father's death. Both your Mother and Father were one of the better people you meet in life. We enjoyed their friendship and your Father will be missed very much, as your Mother was. Sorry that we will not be able to make the trip up to Virginia for the services, but you will be in our thoughts and prayers.
