Not sure what to say?

I know that many years have passed since Mr. Davenport left us. I heard if it several years after. He was a peaceable, loving man. He gave me a CD when we both worked at Renaissance.

MINEY, ROBBIE, CHARLES, BETH

DEAR AUNT MINEY AND COUSIN BETH,
MY HEART IS FILLED WITH DEEPEST SYMPATHY FOR YOU BOTH!

I FOUND THIS PHOTO OF YOUR FAMILY IN MY GENEAOLOGY BOOK AND WANTED TO SHARE IT WITH YOU.

Dear Isaac, Joseph, Rachel and Sherry,

Your very sad news reached us as we were leaving on a trip. We were sorry to miss the funeral and shiva, and our hearts go out to you.

Ironically, I had been sitting in shul on the shabbat of Rob's death, before knowing, and thinking about inviting you all to our sukkah. We will be in touch.

warm wishes and shabbat shalom,

Karen & Aaron
