Not sure what to say?

Dear Ted and family,
I was thinking of Michelle and Mary this morning and just wanted to take a moment to connect with you all in word as well as spirit.

Love,

Dear Ted,

I just got off the phone with my long time friend, Susan Day (Tucson), who mentioned that you lost your beloved wife, Mary. My love, thoughts, and prayers to you and your daughter, Natalie.

Dear Ted and Natalie, Your aunt Michelle called me tonight and told me the very sad news that your beautiful wife and wonderful mother had died. It's a very difficult time for you and your family - but I would like to share a few memories with you, even though I have not had the pleasure of meeting you.

I never got to know Mary (I only saw her...

Dear Michelle and Ted: I am so sad to hear. I first met her when she was stage manager for a show I was in and she was so beautiful and calm and competent. I remember her most from that time.

Ted and Natalie,
Bitty and I are sorry to hear about Mary passing away. I loved to read Mary's stories when she took her writing classes. She was such a patient and loving person and we will miss her.

Mary, you will be dearly missed. You were a beautiful person. My thoughts are with you.

Aunt Gloria, Uncle Mike and Robbins Family,

Our love and prayers to you, always.
