Dear Fran,
I was SO sorry to hear about the passing of your husband, Jerry.
I express my sympathy.  Little did we know that our loved ones…your husband and my mother, Irene Groff, would be taken home days apart.  They are now safe and healed….in the arms of Jesus.  How faithful you were in visiting and supporting your husband. 
I would love to meet with you to chat some time later.  I will try to look you up.
Bless you,
Nancy Riker

Frances:
We shed a tear when we read of your dear husband’s passing on Friday. You and Jerry were always, without exception, so kind and caring for us as we walked a similar path with our father, Dan Graybill Jr. There is a fellowship we find in going through the tough times, isn’t there? We’re so thankful that Jerry and Dan could share some space at Landis Homes, not just with adjoining rooms, but with a warm companionship. You’re in our prayers as you walk through this time of loss and grief. May God comfort you and give you His peace,
Liz and Dean Jurgen
(daughter and son in law of Dan)

Dear Fran,

I sensed from you last week the end may be near for Jerry, but still surprised when I heard.  I’m so sorry for your lost, but I know some relief has come.  I grieve because I will miss you so much–you will never know how much you have encouraged me–May you be blessed.  My brother and I would like to invite you to have noon meal with Mom and Dad and our families on Sunday the 17th at 12:15 at Landis Homes.  Please call me at 717-575-7345.

Love,
Becky Landis (Earl Graybill’s daughter)

Dear Fran,
Please accept my sympathy. I shed a few tears when I read the news in the paper on Sunday.  My prayers have been with you ever since.  It was such a pleasure to get to know you and Jerry as we spent time together at Landis Homes. You certainly took special care of Jerry as he went through the difficult times.  You are a true blessing.  Now I will continue to keep you in my prayers as you go through this time of mourning.  If you would find time to go to lunch, please give me a call.  I would really enjoy spending time with you. With my love and sympathy, I’ll be anxious to get a call from you.   569-3332
