A sincere and heartfelt conveyance of condolences to the family. Your father was always a kind, generous man. Ever eager with a smile or a wave as we passed by and he was out in his beloved garden. We already missed seeing him out there this year. Should you need anything, please do not hesitate to ask. We are literally the next door down.
