Dear Anita,
I am so sad to read of your loss. You may not remember me, but we used to hang out in SF and I was kindly invited to your beautiful wedding. I'm so sad. Sending love, and hoping that the passage of time is healing.

Dear Anita,
I learned about the loss of your husband on Sunday as I was reading the paper. Although I only met George briefly years ago, I remember him fondly and was shocked that he left us so young. I am very sorry for your loss. My thoughts and prayers are with you and George's family.

Dear George, He'd pop onto the scene in Unravel Travel days. What fun we all had. George was forever cheerful and friendly. Everyone loved him. I can see from his picture that his sunny nature stayed with him, brightening everyone's lives. Special hugs to Louise. What a loss. Love to you, XXX000, Ann Seymour
