Dear Mrs. Sadwin and Family,
Please accept our deepest sympathy over the passing of Dr. Sadwin. He was a wonderful doctor and we have fond memories of him when he treated my husband for his injury. He was a caring and devoted to his patients and he was certainly very proud of his beautiful family. We still have the CD he gave us that he made. May your memories of your wonderful husband, father, and grandfather always make you smile. We all lost a great man.
Love, Vince and Rose DeFinis

Aunt Susie,
I am so sorry about the passing of Uncle Arnie. His great smile, personality and wonderful spirit brightened everywhere he went. I wish we could have spent more time with him, and am thankful for the memories I have. His dedication and devotion to you and your family is a lesson I will always remember, from the wonderful stories he would tell, to the fabulous holiday cards and visits in WV and VA. I hope wonderful memories will bring you comfort. Love, Becky
