Dearest Mardee, Meredith and Dean,
I am deeply sorry for your loss! I worked for Dr. Reilly more than 10 years ago. I will never forget his support and encouragement while going through Hygiene school. He was a very giving man, especially to his patients. I've thought of him through the years, and stopped by for a visit a couple of years ago. He hadn't changed a bit. My heart and prayers go out to each of you!
God Bless,

Dear Meredith and Family,
I never met you Meredith or your family but Aubrey speaks so highly of all of you. I am so saddened by your loss as I too experienced the same loss recently. My prayers and thoughts have been with you and your family since I heard about your father's passing and will continue to be for a very long time. The Holy Spirit, family, friends and "time" are the only things that will help you through this. I am so sorry and my heart breaks over and over again for what all of you will have to endure in the days, weeks, months and years to come. I am constantly thinking of all of you and know exactly what you are going through each and every day. I share in your grief and pain. I am so sorry.

Mardee, Dean & Meredith,
My heart is absolutely broken. Never have I had a better boss and friend. Somewhere in heaven Dr. Reilly has sent an angel down to Mayacoo to fetch his golf clubs. Every time I came to the office he asked when I was coming back to work. I hope he saves a job for me in heaven, even if it is fetching his clubs or juicing carrots for him. Boy, was that a fad he went through. My prayers are with you all. Our hearts will heal and the memories will be dear and special always.
All my love & sympathy,
Kay
