Mr. Tanner,
It is with profound sadness that I send you this message. I feel so sad to hear of your wife's passing. She was always so pleasant and friendly whenever we saw her at our class reunions. So many times this winter I thought of you both and wondered if you were in Florida.
Please accept my sincere condolences.
