Dear Sheila,
Heartfelt condolences on the passing of your husband. My prayers are with you during this somber time.

Dear Sheila, It was a tremendous shock to learn of Dick's sudden passing. It is a big understatement to say that he will be greatly missed by so many....his being was spent in always helping others.
