Not sure what to say?

Dear Rose and Family,
My prayers and the prayers of St. Matthew Parish go out to you. Harry was a definite founder of this parish. He was a regular participant and a wonderful man of Faith. May Jesus welcome him to the glory of heaven.

I was informed last week of uncle Harry's passing. I was saddened to hear of his death and the difficulties he had over the past few months with Parkinson's Disease. Although we didn't see each other much, I had very fond memories of Uncle Harry; his jovial nature and atheleticism stand out. My thoughts and prayers are with all of you.

I would like to say how happy I am to know that Mr. Forrester has gone on to Glory. We celebrate his home going. I have known Mr. Forrester for many years and he celebrated everyday of his life, at least the days that we talked with each other. He was always a very happy and considerate person. I see where his son (Jim) got his good humor from. It was meant for me to run across his obituary in the News Gazette when I was lookin for someone else. I am happy to write this for Mr....

Forrester Family,
I was sorry to hear of the passing of your father. He was a true gentleman. I taught with your mother at Westview. I remember your father walking up to the school to clean snow off the cars after a snowfall. He always had time to stop and talk whenever we saw him.
You are in my thoughts and prayers.

Rita,
You are in my thoughts and in my heart always but especially now. Please call if you need some time alone with a friend. I'm always here. YOU were a wonderful daughter! ...as you are a wonderful person.. it is all you know how to be. All love, Clyde

I was so sorry to hear of your loss. My thoughts are with you.

Dear Jimmy and Family,

I am sorry to hear that your Dad passed away. I have fond memories of him taking walks past my parents house. I also enjoyed talking to him whenever we saw him on our visits to Champaign. Your Dad had a wonderful and very accomplished life! Our prayers and thoughts are with you and all of your family as you go through this difficult time.

Blessings,
