Not sure what to say?

Dear George,
It has been a long time. Please know how sorry I am at your wife's passing. I don't think i will ever be able to address you and your wife as anything but Mr. and Mrs. Grimes... out of pure respect.
May peace be with you and your family. I understand the loss. My prayers are with you and your family. Please pass on my condolences to Steve... not having been in touch with him is one of my regrets.

Sincerely,

Steve Scott

Dear George and Family,
My thoughts are with you and all your family. I worked for George 30+ years ago at Lockheed and when I married, invited George and Joan to my wedding, and remember Joan as very kind and gracious. George, I have thought about you often throughout these years because you were the kindest person ever (and one of my first bosses) and I am very sorry to hear about Joan as you talked about her quite often. With deepest sympathy, Patty Tanaka Egusa.

Dear George and Family,

Our family's thoughts and prayers go out to you. Being your neighbors for over 30 years, we have many good memories of Joan. Her excerise routine was a inspiration to us to stay healthy.
She always had a kind word and maybe some news as she delivered our San Miguel Newsletter.
Always working in her yard,she would smile and chat as we would walk by.
She will be missed as she helped make our neighborhood a special place to live.

Dear George and family,
My thoughts and prayers go out to you.I know Joan was very blessed with a wonderful and loving husband and family.
God bless you.

Dear Mr. Grimes and Family,

How very blessed to have such a matriarch and outstanding example of a Wife and Mother. Accomplished and humble. I pray she is with her beloved family members who have gone before her. Rest assure. She continues to feel your love and you will carry hers inside your hearts.

With Love,
Kurt, Lynda, Leanna & Alisha Nunn

My best friend's mother...one of the most kind, generous and filled with grace!

Growing up in the same neighborhood, I am proud to say her son Mathew is one of my oldest and best friends, Mrs. Grimes always had a smile, never a harsh word, welcoming us kids into her house and beautiful yard filled with tree fort, hoop court, garden, serving us a snack on most days, kept a well organized and clean home, just a wonderful sweet lady always, a warm summer breeze or fresh spring day is my memory of her, her husband George is just the same, obvioius they really enjoy...
