You may not even remember me, but I have fond memories of your family. Please accept my condolences for the loss of your father (and belatedly, for your mother.) I hope you are able to find some comfort and support from each other. Keep their memories alive and know that you were loved.

Edith, Billy, Lizzie, Streilla and Vince, please accept my condolences for the loss of your father. He was a strong man who loved each of you very much. Please also accept my much belated regret to hear of your mother as well. My memories of both of them all show how much they worked for you, and provided for their family. I truly hope each of you can look back at the past and remember all the good times with your parents, and that those memories will help overcome your grief in time. I intend for this message to be an offer of my heartfelt empathy to each of you. God bless you and comfort you during this time.

Your friend from the past,

Kyle
