Not sure what to say?

Dear Mrs. Borst and family;
I just learned about Dr. Borst's death. I am so sorry to hear about it. I worked for Dr. Borst in the Holland office, first while he was in practice with Dr. Moorehead, and then later when he went into private practice. I have many fond memories of working with him, Linda and Karla.
Again, my deepest sympathy in the death of Dr. Borst.

Jim & Joan played duets on the piano/organ that was set up in their living room on Crofton St. Several friends
came often to listen to their God-given talents; after we had played some basketball in their driveway. My parents, Hudson (Hutz) & Ernestine (Ernie)...

Our sincerest Christian...
