Dear Ruthanne and Family:

Please accept my deepest condolences at the loss of you father. I'm sure that you will miss him as much as I miss my Dad, but they are probably enjoying a drink together in Heaven at this very minute and talking with the other folks from Leominster Crossings that have also left this life.

Your father was a terrific guy as I am sure you know. He will be missed.

Sincerely,

Pat Plette (Monty Williams daughter)

Dear Egan Family,

My thoughts, prayers and sympathy are with you all.

Although I did not meet Mr Egan personally I have heard many lovely stories about what a cherished father and friend he was and have experienced many of the qualities he will be remembered for in David for whom I have worked for years. He will be remembered as a generous, kind and dedicated friend and father.
