Dear Joe,
I am so sorry for your loss.  I know it has been a long battle that you fought with all your heart.  Please accept my condolences and give my regards to your family, especially Mike.
I found out too late to be able to take off work to go to the funeral, and dad is chagrined to say he had a senior moment and got ready and went to the church – on Tuesday. 
Take good care of yourself and we’ll save you a spot at the table when you are up to it.

With deepest Sympathy,
Mark Stanavage and Family
