Not sure what to say?

Dear Julie, I´m not sure this will get to you, but if by chance it does, I´m hoping to get in touch with you. My maiden name is Julie Rogers. . It´s been a very long time. You can reach me at (715) 410-9021. Thank you. Your husband sounds like he was an amazing man.

Dear Julia,
with great regret, I heard the sad news of Bob's death by Anita and Johann.
I offer my deepest apologies for your loss.
Please you know that he is in my thoughts and prayers at this difficult time. We think very often on our meeting with Bob and we keep him in Fund memory.

Bob and I were in many classes together at Lane Tech, where he was well-respected by all, students and teachers alike. He was a true friend, and never let his star status on Lane's championship football team go to his head. Academically gifted, Bob kept his priorities straight.

Julie,,

I was a childhood friend of Bob's. We went to the same Church, I also went to Lane Tech. Bob was the best Football Player at Lane. I am sorry we never kept in touch. I am also very sorry for your loss. There is a new star shinning in the sky and it has Bob's name on it.

Bob was a classmate of mine at Patrick Henry Grammar School and Lane Tech High School in Chicago. He was always one of the good guys, liked by both students and teachers. I am sorry we lost contact. I am sure he had a positive impact on all those he touched. My sincere condolences to his loved ones.

Julie,
My heart goes out to you. Bob was such a great guy! Although Bob and I hadn't spent a lot of time together recently, our friendship goes back to around 1990. We climbed and hiked together and I considered Bob a very good friend and mentor. When I would have a tough career choice I would get Bob's opinion, which I respected so much. I will dearly miss Bob's friendship. Julie, let me know it there is anything I can do for you in this time of grief. With much compassion, Bill...

May God be with u !

Julia,
My heart goes out to you. May time heal.
