Dear Aunt Pearl and family,
We send our love and prayers to all of you at this time of sorrow. We pray that God will comfort you in your loss and will surround you with his loving arms. We are so sorry that we missed being able to see you at the funeral home or the funeral. We did not find out about Uncle Phil's passing until today, the day of the funeral. We wish we could have seen you in person, but we want you to know that you are in our prayers. Uncle Phil is in his eternal home and free from the frailties of life on earth. We remember the many great times we had to talk and enjoy being with him and with you. May God's grace sustain you as you live with your loss.
Love, Rich [Dick] and Elsa

Dear Pearl and Family,
We extend to you our love and sympathy in this time of sorrow. Our friend Phil has departed from us but he has left us with fond memories of his presence. He was a special friend. The last year was difficult for you and for all who loved him. Now we are assured tht he sees clearly, comprehends fully, and remembers well what goes on about him as he enjoys the embrace of his Heavenly Father. May you be comforted by that assurance and the memories of good times together before he became ill. Thanks be to God for the gift of eternal life for Phil. Sincerely, Sid and Margaret Dykstra
