Beth,
I’m so sorry to hear about your mom.  I’ll always chuckle about running into you and Grace at the Mennonite Home while I was pushing Nana around!  I am unable to attend the services tomorrow, but will be thinking of you.

Hi Wanda:
I was saddened to read about your mother, Grace’s, passing away at age 93.  It has been years since I worked with her on her retirement and you on your financial planning and investments.  I hope you are doing well.
Our thoughts and prayers are with you and your family.  I am sorry that I am unable to attend the funeral on Thursday.  I will be thinking about you.
As a Friend from the Past,
Alan Loss
