You are in my thoughts and prayers.
Sincerely,

Dear Mrs Fahey and family--
Mr Fahey was truly one of my favorite people in the whole world. He was sweet, kind and thoughtful--a true gentleman. He did the flowers for my wedding almost 25 years ago and they were incredible. When he delivered them to my house that morning, he told me that he had put the same care into their arrangement as if he were doing it for one of his own daughters. Nothing could have made me happier because I know how much his girls meant to him. My deepest sympathy to all of you on his passing. Heaven is a better place because he is there.

Our prayers are with you and your family at this time.

I want to forward a message of sympathy to Walter's family and friends. I was thrilled to visit with Walter a few years ago. I have such pleasant memories of the gift of hospitality that he and his family gave to me when I was a child. He was a kind and gentle man who will be missed.
