To the Symonds Family,
I would like to express my sincere condolences. When my mother passed away in October, John's kind, patient, and generous spirit was a great comfort to me while mourning her passing. He made my family and I feel at ease as he assisted us in making her funeral arrangements. I wish there was a way I could extend the same generosity to your family at this time that he extended to mine.

Dear Irv, Kay, and Family,
You know our sympathies regarding the loss of John go beyond words. Life isn't supposed to be this way. Still, the Lord knows better than we when our mission here is done -- and it's time to be relieved of duty. As a fine soldier who was ever ready to guard our country, he has earned the right to still be a Guardian . . . Angel.
I would have been proud to have served with him.

Dear Symonds Family,
Please accept my heartfelt condolences on the loss of John. I can find no words that will help to ease the pain in your hearts. John will be missed by all his family and friends who loved him so dearly. His life will be celebrated through many fond memories and he will live on in the hearts of many. I know there is certainly another Angel in heaven watching over us all. You will all be held close in my prayers as you go through this difficult time.
Hugs,
Barb

Dear Symonds Family,
My thoughts and prayers are with you as you grieve the sudden loss of John. I feel blessed to know such a wonderful family and I will never forget how you comforted my family when my Dad John Salata passed away earlier this year. Your family dropped everything to be there for us. And I have so many special memories of our families growing up in the funeral business together. I know that just because you are in the business dosn't make it any easier when someone you love is gone. I pray that the Lord will comfort you and give you peace at this time. Amen.
