Dear Mrs.Marcotte and family,

It is with shock and deep sadness, that I heard of Dr.Marcotte's passing. I just found out this evening by a friend who knew I recently finished my practicum at his office. Alida Mason did my supervision, but she had to get Dr. Marcotte's permission first. He had no objections, and I will be forever grateful to him for his kindness and generosity. May God be with you at this time, to ease your sorrow. Earth has no sorrow that heaven cannot heal. May the wonderful memories of him linger on forever.

Dr. Gullick and family, my family and I extend our deepest sympathies. David was a wonderful physician as well as a friend. His love for you was evidenced by the way he proudly showed off your wedding portrait. He loved all of you and many loved him. Heaven needed a new resident and it is our loss.
