Not sure what to say?

Dear Helen,
I am so heartbroken for you. It has been obvious for many years that John is the love of your life. It was equally obvious, that you were his. I loved hearing about your adventures together, and your devotion to both your families. You both loved to laugh and were a delight to be around. You both also had such strength of character when faced with adversity. Helen, you were so brave to love him enough to let him go in peace. I know that you now have another angel...

Dear Helen,
I am sorry for you loss. You were the love of his life -his words!
I hope you find joy in knowing how much he loved you.

Mr. Sweeney,
Sir, I didn't know you, but I would just like to say thank you for your service and sacrifice for our Country when you served with the U.S. Army in WW II and for being a member of the Greatest Generation. And to your family and loved ones, I wish to extend my deepest sympathy.

My Condolences Helen.

I will miss you Uncle John. You and Aunt Doris were so good to us throughout the years. You were the only one I knew who ate ham at Thanksgiving. Thanks for teaching me how to play craps when I was young....
Rest in Peace.

Helen, Aunt Sis, & Aunt Loraine, I was so sorry to hear of the loss of Uncle John. Our thoughts and Prayers are with you during this difficult time.

Very sorry for the untimely death of "Uncle John", he is finally in a better place.

Our hearts go out to you Auntie at this time and in the days ahead.
With Deepest Sympathy and Love,
The Reardon Family

Helen, Aunt Sis and Aunt Lorraine.... I am so sorry for your loss. Uncle John will always hold a very special place in my heart. I always loved being his designated driver at the family get-together's because that meant I got to drive him and Aunt Doris home in the caddy!! While I know he will be greatly missed here, I take comfort knowing he was already welcomed into a greater place by all this family and friends that have gone before him.

I will always remember the fun times at Cape Cod with you and Aunt Doris. You taught all the Markham's to drive at age 12. You were a wonderful and fun uncle. Helen I am very sorry for your loss.
