Not sure what to say?

Dear Debbie & Donna and Family--
I am so sorry to hear of your dad's passing. Clearly he was very good man and he left a wonderful legacy in your integrity and character. I see this same strength in your children.

You are in my thoughts and prayers as you go through this season. I'm here if you need anything!
Much Love,

So sorry we were not able to make the memorial. We are all thinking of you. Let me know what you need. Love always.

Judy, Donna, Debbie & Darrell,

I am praying for all of you and your families. I hope you find God's presence as you start your grief journey. I won't forget Jim's smile and constant one upmanship with my dad. I always enjoyed the times we spent with your family. Jim will be missed!

Judy,
I think of you and Jim often, I speak of Jim often. We were fellow officers, but more than that, we were friends. I often called him "DAD" because he helped me so often. I remember someone asking if I was his son, when I had called him dad, and Jim telling him " DO I LOOK OLD ENOUGH TO BE HIS DAD ? " Jim is a great guy and father. I wish you all the best. I will remember Jim with fond memories.

Judy,Debbie,Darrell and Donna.
I'm so sorry to learn of Jim's passing. Jim was my friend. I learn to be a good policeman because of him. One of my memories that I will always remember is that one day I was booking a prisoner and I made a comment and the man looked at me and said," that exactly what a solon cop said." Jim was the policeman. I realized that Jim will always be a part of me. Your family will be a part of ours. I'm so sorry I will not be able to make it back for the service.

Dear Donna & family,
I was saddened to hear that your father passed away. To me, he was the fun Dad in the neighborhood. Even today, a loud whistle reminds me of him calling you for dinner. He couldn't have a nicer wife and children. I hope your pain of losing him will be replace by smiles when you think of him.

Dear Judy and Family,
We were so sorry to learn of Jim's passing.
He was a good man and a fun guy. It was so great seeing you both last fall ... please know you and your family will be in our thoughts and prayers.
God bless you,
Madeline and Ralph Siebert (Surprise, AZ)

I only met Mr Rahal a couple of times, but I know Debbie and Donna well. What greater tribute to a man than his wonderful children and grandchildren, whose lives he influenced in such a positive way.
