Diane and Family, it is with deepest sympathy and sadness that I send condolences on the passing of Pat. It was such a shock to hear. I pray that God watches over you Diane at this very difficult time you are going through.
Dear Diane,
So sorry to read of Pat’s passing. I just got your card a few days ago. I will miss that big ole teddy bear and all the
wise cracks. My thoughts and prayers are with you and the family. God keep you in his
care.
Love, Marilyn
So sorry to hear about your husbands passing. You are in my thoughts.
I’m so sorry Colleen. After losing my dad in 2012 at the age of 90, I totally know how difficult it is. When they have always been there, you feel like they always will be. Although I still feel my dad with me and my thoughts of him are daily, I miss him terribly.
At least I knew for the last 5 months of his life that his time was near. Such a difficult time of the year to lose someone so special.
Love,
Gail
