3 Condolences
Please accept my deepest sympathy Mike. I will keep you in my thoughts and prayers.
Mike,
You and your family are in our thoughts and prayers. We are deeply saddened and sorry for your loss.
Howard was a dear friend and the most wonderful man we’ve ever met. He will be sorely missed…
Mr. Volkswagen Bug,
My heartfelt condolences on the loss of your Father. Both your parents were wonderful and kind to us in the Class of 1975 as we grew up in Glenwood and started to find our ways as young adults. I remember your Dad coming by each day on his postal route through town with that smile.
You are in my thoughts and prayers, my friend.
