Dear Kity,

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

Please accept my deepest sympathies.

To Roy's family,
Roy was the love of my life for a couple of years back in the late 80s. I was so sad to find his name in the obits. I have a ton of memories. He taught me everything I know about bowling and we played tennis together often. Once I hit a lob ball over the net as Roy was walking back to serve, when he turned around the ball landed square on the top of his head. The next time we got together to play tennis he went to the service line and said "wait a sec" reached into...

to Mr.Godsey,
I am Sorry 4 uR lost.You & Ur Family will be in our prayer at night.

I was saddened to hear that Roy had passed away. I have many fond memories of the Godsey family. May you find comfort in this time of sorrow.

To a very special family,
I want you to know that I am so sorry! Please know that you are in my prayers. Roy was someone I will never forget and he touch my heart in a way that no one else ever will! Please know if there is anything I can do, just let me know!
Love,
