Not sure what to say?

I was so blessed to be your sister-in-law.

To the Higginbotham's, I am very sorry for your loss and I pray that your grief subsides a little bit more each day. Steve, you have always been a good guy and would love to get in touch with you again.

Josephine and family,
I was so sorry to hear of your loss.
May your love, strength, and fond memories help you through this very difficult time.

I really apologize that I didn't hear of his death until August 21or I would have been there for all of you and provide my condolences in person. My thoughts and prayers are with you in this most difficult time. I know the pain of such a loss never goes away but God does provide us with His support and comfort to carry on and celebrate James life with all the finest memories...

Dear Higginbotham Family,

My heartfelt sympathy goes out to all of you during this very sad time. What a wonderful man Mr. H was and what a legacy he has left with his children and grandchildren.

Although our paths have not crossed for quite some time, I have so many fond memories of our fun neighborhood and with all of you.

I wish you all peace and comfort as the love and memories of Mr. H live on with you forever.

As the days and weeks pass, and as you return to life's routine, may you continue to feel comforted by the love and support of family and friends.
