Dear Connie,
My sincere condolences on the passing of your father. As you likely know, he was my first manager when I worked at the Home News. He was a kind and warm man, who was a wonderful mentor. As life unfolded, I came to admire the qualities he lived more and more. He was very proud (justifiably) of you and his firm but gentle hand was evident in the wonderful daughter he and your mother raised. I am sorry I could not pay my respects in person, please know you and your family are in my thoughts and prayers.
Regards,
Barbara Gonzalez-Palmer

Dear Mrs.Soulea,
I am so sorry to hear about Mr. Soulea. He was a very kind man. I will always remember him. I still have the bird that he made for me. I will put it in my garden tomorrow. My husband puts it on a pole and it's wings moves with the wind. I will always remember both of you. I miss you. My deepest sympathy. So sad.
