Dear Mrs. Parker and Family,

Please accept my sincerest condolences on the loss of Will.
My prayers are with you and your family. I met Will 23 years ago through Oakley Millwork. Will was a great friend and always had a kind word to say.
Will's professionalism and kindness were greatly appreciated. I feel greatly honored to have known Will.
