Dear Mary & family:
We were so sorry to hear of Bob’s death.
Mary, when I saw Bob’s photograph in the newspaper, I felt so sad. However, I also thought back to the Christmas he built that beautiful arbour for your daughter–He was so proud of it and rightly so, as he was such a skilled carpenter.
Having lost my Bob after many years of marriage, I know something of the pain you are going through.
Mary, our thoughts are with you and your family at this very difficult time.
With our deepest sympathy,
Sincerely,
Cathy Patrick & family
