Not sure what to say?

Mrs. Pope, Julie and family,
I am so very sorry for the loss of your husband and dad. I know how dear he was to your entire family. What a true gentleman who gave so much to so many.

The service was beautiful. Julie, your Dad would have been so proud of the eulogy you gave. You represented him so well!

Julie, please know that your old friends are here for you - always.

My prayers are with you all!

It was my honor to have taken care of Mr. Pope during his last illness. My sincere sympathies go out to Mrs. Pope as well as Ann and Julie. I know he will be missed greatly by many people. Just remember, as long as we have our memories he will never be far away.
