Not sure what to say?

Dear Sandee & Forrest
So very sorry to hear about your father. He was so well loved by all those who knew him. Caledonia will have a big hole in it's heart where he resided.
Memories of him and the times you shared will always be cherished.
You have my deepest sympathy and please pass it on to your mother and other family members.
Fondly...

Dear Marie,
I have fond childhood memories of being invited by you and Wayne to your lovely home next to the vet clinic at Christmas time.

I'm praying that the Lord will comfort you during this time with his promise that in heaven we will be reunited with loved ones who are believers in Jesus, freed from all pain and suffering and rewarded for their faithfulness on earth.

Dad was special to many and we were lucky to have him as our father. Many thanks to all who have expressed their sympathies and stories. Dad would be humbled and thankful for your kind words and friendships.

Dear Marie
We were so sorry to hear of Wayne's passing. We are traveling on the East Coast and could not pay our respects as we would have wished. What a great guy (and board member) he was. We are remembering the good times we had together at our annual conferences. Our best to you and hope you are doing well during these sad times.

We are so blessed by having our Dad. The saints must be enjoying his presence. Thank you for all your kindness as we adjust to this new season in our lives.

Dear Marie,
My daughter called me today after learning of Wayne's passing. I'm at Harvard doing research and will not be home for another several weeks but I wanted to send to you my heartfelt sorrow upon losing "Doc". Beatrice Rd. just will never be the same place without him. I will be at the lake shortly after my return and will come and pay my respects to you personally. My thoughts and prayers are with you and your family.
Much love,
Terry Campbell

To Susan and family--
Thinking of you all as you remember your father, and as you celebrate his life so well-lived.

Our thoughs and prayers are with you both and your extended families.
We feel for all of you as our families connect in may ways.

Dear Sandee and family,

My sincere sympathy at the passing of your father. I remember well his visits to our farm when I was a child growing up in Caledonia. He was always so very kind and gentle.
