Not sure what to say?

To the family,
Sorry about your loss. I was a 1970 Hauser Jr high grad. My prayers are with you.

Dear John and Pat,
Your Dad was a very special person to all of us. I enjoyed our special rounds of golf together. He was a very classy guy who I feel priviledge to have known. My heart goes out to you and the rest of the family on his loss. Dave

Please know that you and your family are in my thoughts and prayers.

Our thoughts and prays are with your family.

Dear John,
Sorry to hear of your father's death. It is always difficult to lose a parent I hope things are going well for you and your family during this time of bereavement. My thoughts and prayers will be with you.

You are in our thoughts and prayers.

I heard about Jay from his mother Pauline's cousin -- my grandmother Meta Schutt Schrom. At one time Pauline and Meta were close (we still have a card that Pauline sent to Meta!). Grandma was very proud of Jay and as children, my sisters and I heard all about his Heisman trophy. I'm sorry I never met him. He sounds like a most remarkable man. My condolences to his family. Your distant cousin, Pamela Schrom Reynolds.

THE ENTIRE HAGGERTY FAMILY WOULD LIKE TO EXTEND OUR THOUGHTS AND PRAYERS TO THE BERWANGER FAMILY. MR.BERWANGER WAS TRULY A NATIONAL AND LOCAL ICON IN EVERYTHING HE DID. WE'LL NEVER FORGET HIM FROM THE HINSDALE GOLF CLUB. JAY IS IN A BETTER PLACE. GOD BLESS HIM AND HIS FAMILY.

Offering our deepest condolences during this difficult time.
