Dear Greg,

My sympathy to you and your siblings on the death of your Mother. I was shocked when I checked the obituaries of the home town paper. Your Mother was so very kind and gracious, always pleasant to talk to when calling for your Dad. Now they can be together again. I know it has been a painful few months for you. I should be back home next month and will try to get in touch with you.



Sincerely, Jack

Dear Mark, Greg and Joan,



We are so saddened to have lost our lovely sister and sister-in-law. She was a sweet and gentle lady. These past few months have been a double blow for the three of you. May God give you peace and strength as you go into the future. We have our memories and many pictures of your mom and dad and we cherish them. And, how can we forget those delicious apples!



With love,



Cyril and Joyce

To Mark, Greg and Joan:

I am so saddened to hear of your mother's passing. I always thought she was woman ahead of her time. This must be doubly hard for all of you, especially on the heels of your father's passing in November. I too understand what it means and how it feels to lose a parent - my mom passed away almost 4 years ago in a car accident.

I send Blessings to all of you. I wish Peace and Courage to fill your hearts.

Sincerely,

Chris Whetstone
