Not sure what to say?

Dear Beckwith family,
I am very sorry to hear of your loss. I was assigned to work with Mr. Beckwith on my very first case as a paralegal at Foley & Lardner back in 1990. I always felt like a valuable member of the team and admired him greatly. My thoughts and prayers are with you.

To Nat, Steve, John, David and your families:

Dave was an archetype. If you tried to dream up a guy you'd like to be like it was him. Smart, witty, generous, kind, there aren't enough words to fully capture him. I feel privileged to have known him. My heart goes out to you all.

Mrs. Natalie Beckwith and family I am very sorry for your loss. If my heart is heavy at this time I can only imagine how you feel. As a former nurse at St. John's On The Lake I saw you and Mr. Beckwith often. Mr. Beckwith was always kind. I enjoyed talking with the two of you. I know your loving memories of Mr. Beckwith will help you through. You and your family are in my prayers.

David...what a man! so smart, so funny, so right about so many things! I always felt smarter just knowing him! My love to nat and the family. Nancy Hayes

Although it's been since high school that I last saw the Beckwith family, I wanted to offer our condolences. I hope the legacy Mr Beckwith left offers some comfort in this difficult time.
