Mr. Sutherland:



I always looked forward to seeing you and Mrs. Sutherland at church. Your devotion to her was clear, as was hers to you. I am always inspired to see a couple married for so long who clearly love each other. Seeing you together was always a mini-retreat for me.

Dear Bob and family,

Your wife/mom/grandmother lived a generous life, sharing her many talents and Christian beliefs with many. She will always be remembered.

My thoughts and prayers are with you.

Affectionately,
