Not sure what to say?

Nancy, I am so sorry to hear about your Father's passing. Please know that my thoughts are with you at this time of loss. Although I didn't know your Dad, if he was anything like you, he must have been a great individual. Please accept my condolences.

Dear Nancy and Family: Please accept my sincerest sympathy on the loss of your father and grandfather.

Mr. Corlett was a great neighbor who will be missed. I will always remember a warm and friendly smile and determination. No matter how deep the snow and high the grass he would always take care of the yard himself. Offering help, he would say, "Thanks, but I have it". I admire him for that. I will miss taking my son up to his house on Halloween. He always seem to enjoy the kids in the neighborhood and their costumes. Our thoughts and prayers are out to his family.

Sorry to hear of your loss. A large family is a good thing to have at this time.

My thoughts and prayers are with you in your time of grief. May your memories bring you comfort.

Carol and Family:
Although I did not know Mr. Corlett, I do know Carol and wish to express sympathy to the entire family on behalf of The Patriot-News Dept. of Educational Readership Initiatives. Carol and I often talked about our parents in their golden and not so golden years, and clearly our conversations, the biographical information in the obituary and condolences in this registry are testament to life well lived.

To The Corlett Family:

Just a note to let you know that you are in my thoughts and prayers daily. I am so glad I have had the privilage to get to know most of you by taking care of my "Dear Sweet Elsie". You have my sympathy and prayers.

In 1967 I was a young Service Forester beginning a long career in the Bureau of Forestry. Over the years Bill was much more than my supervisor. He was one to truly lead by example, and all who worked for him are better for the experience. He was a true friend and mentor to all in his organization. My thoughts and prayers go out to Bill's family and friends.

My thoughts and prayers are with Mr. Corlett's family and friends. I will always remember the first time I met Bill. I was walking in the neighborhood and he was sitting in front of his garage preparing his dahlia bulbs for spring planting. Of course he offered me some. That was the first of the many times I saw him bring a smile to someone face.
