Not sure what to say?

Dear Jack -
I am very sorry to hear of your loss. My sympathies to you and your family.

Little League Team - 1972

Dr Burns was our family dentist for all my years of growing up here in Tucson. Used to play with his sons, Jack and Brad. Diane worked at my mom and dad's ranch when I was little. She was in my mom's 4H club too. Haven't seen her since 2001. Some wonderful memories of Dr Burns and playing on his Little League teams. I got my first bicycles from he and Mrs Burns too. They were such wonderful people to my mom & dad, Zip & Jinny Peterson!!!! He was my mom's dentist even till around 2005...

I was one of your dads first patients when he opened his office on Broadway. When he retired, my family of 5 was sad. Then he unretired and called and said he was back and we went back to him. Visited them in Montana at their beautiful place on the lake. Your dad and I exchanged jokes for 40 years. Had a lot of good laughs along the years. My condolences to all of you and I thank you for the letter when he passed. He was a dear friend.

Dear Diane, Ed and I extend our sympathy to you and your brothers on the death of your parents--Jean several years ago and Daws recently. The obit mentioned a long illness, so I'm hoping that the worry and anxiety of his illness will be replaced by warm, loving memories.

I have such fond memories of attending the annual Christmas party. Jean introduced me to The Sausage Shop, and I fell a little in love with holiday bears.

May the God of all comfort be with you during this difficult time
