Dear Bradshaw Family: I am so sorry I couldn't come to the visitation or funeral. I wanted so much to see all of you and extend my condolences. As a young girl, I spent many weekends at your home and have such fond memories. You have been in my prayers, may God bless each one of you.

Dear Fran, Harry, and extended family,

We want you to know that you are in our prayers during this difficult time. It is never easy to lose a loved one regardless of age or health considerations. May you find comfort in the memories of his kindess and generosity, these you can hold near and dear in your heart and mind all the days of your life.
