Dear Joan,
So sorry to read of Tom's death. He was a good friend of my brother's years ago. He was such a handsome one and so nice. John worked with him at Swenson's. Remember those days? Haven't seen you since one of our class reunions but, hopefully, our paths will cross again. The class reunion committee is burned out so maybe we can plan a luncheon and try to get some classmates together. You are in my thoughts and I pray God will give you strength and understanding.
I have not had to face it yet but please know you have my deepest sympathy.

Dear Joan and Family...
So sorry to read of Tom's death. I guess we just expect life to go on as usual. My husband has also been plaqued with kidney failure but was and is not a candidate for a transplant.
You and the kids were Tom's life. I know he and his Dad talked about your family and how proud he was of each of you. Of course, I am certain he was equally proud of his grandchildren and great grandchildren.
Even though it has been over thirty years since I worked for Tom and Jack Proudley, I have thought of you often.
My prayers and thoughts are with you at this time.
Sincerely, Saundra Etheridge

Sincerely, Your Niece, Lynda and Husband (Nephew) David
