Not sure what to say?

Dear Joe
I am so sorry to here about your dad. I know it is very hard right now and I can not tell you when it will get any better. I just lost my dad one month ago and I still hurt in my heart for him every day. Just remember all the good times with your dad and that will help. Again I am so sorry for your loss.

Dear Margaret and family, We are so sorry to hear of Merle's illness and passing. Just want to share a couple of memories - how much my mom (Hattie Smith) enjoyed her friendship with Carma, how Merle took Carolyn and myself on a wild ride over all gravel roads (of course!!) to Swains Lake to go swimming (Caolyn and I were both SURE we going at least 90 miles an hour but I don't think so - we're talking probably 67 years ago), how much fun we had at Twin Pines with Charlene and Windy and...
