Dear Alan and DeAnna,

I was so sorry to hear of your loss. Losing a mother is so sad. I lost mine 6 years ago, but it seems like only yesterday. I remember knowing your mother as a parent when I taught Alan. She was a very nice person. I have fond memories of your mother and her good friend Mrs. Pavy at school together attending PTA meetings, programs, conferences, field days and being super room mothers. I know you will miss her. May your many loving memories of her begin to fill the void that your are feeling now.

You are in my thoughts and prayers.

Dear Jack,

My deepest sympathy to you and your family in this time of great sorrow. We can't always understand God's plans while in the midst of such grief but only that HE is ultimately in control and that your loved one is resting in the beauty of a gentler place. May you gather comfort from your family and friends and be strengthened by your many precious memories.

We are truly sorry for your loss. I know the loss you feel. I lost my Dad to Cancer 11 years ago he was 53 years old. If there is anything you may need please just call. Sometimes it helps to talk to someone who has walked the same path and understands the pain and loss that you are feeling. My prayers are with you and your family during this time.
