Dear Mrs. Boderman,
I was sad to hear about your husbands passing. I am sure you have a great lifetime of memories to reflect back on to put a smile back on your face. There are many blessings that we forget but somehow come back to us when we need them to pick us up.
I have the pleasure of working with your daughter Nancy. I know she carries many parts of you and her fathers passions for life. I hope you find some comfort in knowing you will meet again some day.
God Bless you.

Dear Caroline, Nancy, Susan, Christopher, Kathryn, and Zackary,
I just wanted to let you know how very sorry I was to learn of Mr. Boderman's passing. The last time I saw him was at a luncheon at Panache for a group of Apparel Affiliates former employees. I will always remember him for his wonderful attitude and smile and his professionalism. I worked with him from 1975-1986 and missed him when he retired. I will be keeping all of you in my thoughts and prayers. May your memories and the love of family and friends shelter you during this difficult time. God Bless!
All My Love and Sympathy Always,

Dear Caroline, Nancy and Susan,
Our condolences to you on the loss of your husband and father. Your family's love and devotion to each other was obvious to all. Bill's smile was his signature.
He was a perfect neighbor when we lived in Allentown. He was a perfect neighbor and "watchman" to our children. He will be missed by a lot of people. We know that your loving memories will help you muddle through this most difficult time.
