Not sure what to say?

I still think of Bev and Jack! I hope Bev is doing great, I know Jack is ! Probably duck hunting!

To John Herrin and Family,
Please accept my heartfelt sympathy. Had I known, I would have made every effort to attend your Father's visitation or service. May years of memories, family and friends bring you much comfort in this time of loss.
Sincerely,
Ann Brock Wellinghoff

Again I want to express my sympathy over your loss. My thoughts are with you and your family. Sorry I missed the visitation. I was sick and I didn't think I should take the chance of making others sick. I will keep you in my prayers.

Bev and Family: Keeping you in our thoughts during this time. Jack is a very special gentleman, and it is the precious memories that will bring smiles to us in days to come. We got to know him on a first name basis and he called us all by first name too. He always had a comment when we were at the house you never knew what he was going to come up with. Thinking of you today and always.

Bev and family: My thoughts and prayers are with you. I'm so sorry for your loss.

HE ATE LITTLE FISHES THAT WERE MOST DELICIOUS
AND HE HAD THEM FOR SUPPER AND...

I want to give my condolences to the family of one of the best bosses I ever had. What a wonderful man he was. He will be missed by a lot of people.

So sorry for your loss. You are all in our prayers. So sorry that I could not make it to the visitation.
