Not sure what to say?

I'm so very sorry to learn of your family's

Kabats,
He was one of a kind. I'm happy I had the pleasure of knowing him. There were so many good times, 4th of July, trips in the bus to China town, germanfest, on & on. Sorry I missed the wake/funeral.
Keep your chin up Karin! You too Kurt.

Today is Father's Day. My God this is awful. I won't be able to call you and tell you that I love you and that hurts so very much. I still wake up and start crying knowing that you will not be at the train when I get there. I long for the day I can turn that corner and not look for you...and not cry. I wish I would've come over that night and saw you. I never would've thought that you would die that night...nobody did...except for God. I miss you terribly, but I know that somehow you are...

Dear Laurene, Bob, and Jan,

We were very saddened to hear of Bob Sr's passing and send you our sympathy and prayers. We enjoyed our time in Puerto Vallarta with all of you and will remember the lively dinner table conversation and energetic personality of your husband/father and will miss not seeing him in years to come. We have great memories from that trip and thank you all and Bob Sr. for being a large part of that.

Dear Laurene and Family,

Our deepest sympathy on the passing of Bob. He was someone we will never forget. He really was one of a kind. We have fond memories of the many hockey trips that Bob and Kurt went on. We shall miss seeing him out at the flea markets, also.
May your memories of him comfort you as you mourn his loss.

DEAR KABAT'S
PLEASE ACCEPT OUR SYMPATHY FOR LOSING YOUR FATHER. I ALWAYS HAD A LOT OF FUN KNOWING HIM AND HIS FAMILY.
