Dear Nick & Ruth & Family,
   You have my sincere condolences in the loss of your Father, Nick. I did not know your father, but.. knowing how kind you & Ruth are reminds me of the saying "the apple doesn’t fall far from the tree". If he was a kind man like you two are, I’m sure you’ll find comfort in knowing he’s in Gods caring arms now.
   Sincerely, Velinda (lin) Pickel & husband Carl

Dearest Christina and Family:
My wife, Mary Lou and I were very sorry to learn of the passing of your dear husband Harry in the newspaper. I wanted to attend the church service today but I am suffering from pancreatic cancer just like my wonderful deceased friend Paul. Therefore, I was unable to make it today. You and the family are in our prayers. May the many wonderful memories you and the family have had with Harry sustain everyone during your period of grief.
With much love and kindest personal regards,
Larry and Mary Lou Gagnon
