Dear Rick,
My prayers and thoughts are towards heaven for you and your family. You are a true friend to me; and I know that a man learns to be such a person from his Dad. You carry his character everywhere you go. In these next weeks, take time to revisit the joy of your memories of your Dad with your family and friends. He will live forever.
Your friend,

Dear Johnny and Family - I do so wish I could be with you on Friday; however, it's too close to my surgery next Tuesday and I can't chance getting sick.
I want to express my sympathies again. I think of you each day. It has been such a rough time; however, it is good to know that Dick is now at peace.
Johnny, you are a wonderful friend and I know how difficult this is for all of you.
I'll visit with you after my surgery when we can spend some time together.
Love, Lynn
