Not sure what to say?

I loved playing basketball with Mr. Higginbotham and Keith back in the 1970's. I'm so sorry to hear this news!

With sympathy to my old friend, Keith, in the passing of his Dad. Keith, I was saddened to hear of your loss. Prayers for you and your family.

So sorry to hear about Mr. Higgonbotham. He was such a nice, friendly and kind man. Always enjoyed our chance meetings at Panera Bread. Many prayers for you all.

John was one of the finest men I have known. He was both humble and very capable in ways a lot of people don't know. We have a lot to be thankful to God for blessing us with John.
