Dear Alice,
So sad to read of Nick's passing. I wondered why the two of you weren't at the condo Christmas party and was told that Nick had passed away. I always enjoyed talking to him and hearing his great stories.
He always managed to make me laugh and that I will miss, but always remember.
Sincerely,
Barbara Havrot

Dear Linda and John,
Thinking of you and your family at this difficult time. Although we didn't know your father, he was clearly a man with a sense of service and vitality until the end. He will be missed and fondly remembered by many.
