Dear Neighbors,
We were very sorry to learn that Mr.Jack had passed away. I have been on the verge of coming by to wish you all joy of your new home. I intended to get to the service, but my horses chose that morning to break down a fence and went visiting next door, please forgive me.
Please know that we hope things will go well for you in the future.
