Not sure what to say?

I was so sad to know that Professor Evenson passed away.

I was her student when he was Director of the International Development Economics Program. He was an excellent professor and a mentor. Being a foreing student from Peru, he was always welcomed all the international students at Yale. My prayers are wit the family. I will always cheerish what he has taught me.

Dear Judy, I am so sorry for your loss. I hope you are finding comfort with your friends and family.

Dear Judy,

We saw how difficult it was becoming for you to deal with Bob's disease in the last months he was at Bethesda. Dementia associated with a disease for which there is no treatment can break your heart. Please know that I have sympathy for your loss and wish your return to a normal life from which he will be missing. Recovery and reworking your life will need time. I am sorry for you and wish you well.

Judy and family, We were sorry to read about Bob, but it is good that his suffering is over. He certainly had an interesting life. We hope that you can find comfort in many shared memories. Our thoughts and prayers are with you.
