Not sure what to say?

Dear Ellie,
I am so sorry for your loss. You are in my thoughts and prayers.

Dear Ellie & Family,

It truly saddens me to learn of Bob's passing. One interest of his that didn't appear in the obituary was his love of singing. As piano accompanist for Sherri Buxton's adult cabaret group, I had the pleasure of working closely with Bob. Many times I've said that Bob Chandler was one of my very favorites in that setting. He was the first to say that he had no singing voice, but his breathy delivery conveyed the soul of any song he sang. I miss him already and wish his family the very best.

Hello,
Sorry to hear of your loss.
Douglas,
I hope you have comfort at this time from your friends and family.
