Dear Joe,

I was so sorry to hear of the death of your father. I know this has been a difficult time for you and that you and your family did all you could do to care for him in the best possible manner. I am sure given his years of life that he lived a very full and rewarding life. He is in a better, more peaceful place. I'm sorry I was out of the country and missed paying my respects earlier. Please know of my thoughts and prayers at this difficult time. Please accept my deepest of sympathies. Mandy
