Not sure what to say?

Dear John, I was son sorry to hear of Shirley's passing. I remember so well the times we spent together in Mountain Home. My thoughts and prayers are with you and Donna/

John, So sorry to hear about the loss of your wife, Shirley. You & I only knew each other for a few short months in Udorn where we flew a bunch of missions together over the North. My buddy Tim & I were the last of the back seat pilots if you can remember that far back. Our prayers are with you and your family in this time of need. Ken Lang

John,
I'm so sad to hear that you've lost you're lovely Shirley. Vicki Bernholtz, who can no longer respond due to loss of vision, asked me to send her condolences.
Know that you are in our thoughts.

John,
I never knew Shirley. But you and I met at Udorn 1969. I was Griff's tactics officers for the squadron. And I remember clearly the day you came in on a wing and a prayer and through shear skill and cunning survived the demise of that RF-4.

God bless you and may your future be filled with goodness.

Is saddens my heart to hear of Shirley's passing.

Dear Leaphart Family~
I hate to hear of the passing of Mrs. Leaphart. I babysat for you all so many years ago, but I still have wonderful memories of you all. I got close to seeing you at the last VooDoo reunion hosted at Shaw, but something happened and it didn't happen.
Throughout my life some people stand out for different reasons, some I don't even understand, but for the short time you all were in my life I admired you, was awed my Mrs. Shirley's beauty. I clicked with your...

Sorry for your loss. I lost Marietta in Austin in 1981. Try and hang in there! Have a blessed day.
