Dear Jeff and Family,
You have my deepest sympathy in the loss of your dad. I have fond memories of Herb and Nancy, initially meeting them when they were neighbors to my parents on Ford Avenue. They were wonderful people with solid family values and a strong work ethic. May God comfort you in your grief.
Love,
