Not sure what to say?

Mildred and family, I am so sorry for your loss. May God bless you and keep you in His loving care always. Audrey and family.

Mrs. Parrish and Craig's family: I'm so sorry to be delayed in writing since Craig's funeral. He was a delightful fellow that enjoyed making others laugh. It was wonderful to see him at our class reunion not expecting to see him leave us so soon. Blessings, comfort to you and the rest of his family. Know you miss his jolly laugh.

My thoughts and prayers are with the Parrish family over the loss of Craig. He will be missed by all of his classmates.

No bond is as great as that between a parent and child. My deepest condolences are with you as you grieve.
