Dear Mary, John, Amy, and Kaarn,

My heart goes out to your family. I wish I could say something profound that would bring you comfort in the midst of your sorrow, but there are no words that are adequate. I will however lift you up to our Lord on High, asking His Spirit to intercede on your behalf and to bring to you memories of joy and laughter interspersed amongst the sadness of losing you Husband and Father. To Him who is able to give more than we can ever ask or imagine, I ask His...

I am so sorry that I didn't find out in time to make arrangements to be there, but please let the whole family know that you have my sympathy and prayers during this difficult time for you.

Dear Mary, Amy, John and Kaarn, We are so sorry to hear the news of Jacks passing. Our hearts and prayers are with you. We feel your saddness and pain. Jack was a very special person to us and we always enjoyed being in his company. Mary, you and Jack raised a beautiful family. Rita and Gobind Mohinani

Dad I miss you. No one will ever love me the way you do.
Love, Amy
