Dear Mark and Dave,
I'm sorry to hear of your dad's passing. I fondly remember our talks after church while I waited for my mom. My prayers are with you during what must be a very difficult time.

Dave, Mark, and families,
I'm saddened to learn of your dad's passing. I remember him as a quiet and kind man. When he wrote his annual Christmas detective stories, he always remembered to send one to my sister, Dee. It may seem like such a small gesture, but it always meant so much to her. Please know that I keep you in my prayers.
