Dear Jackie and Family,
So sorry to hear about Bob. I hope you had some good times since you retired. As least you were able to spend some time together and enjoy life. I am sorry I won’t get to the services, but I have not been feeling too good lately. Take care,

Dear Jackie,
We are very sorry about Robert. It was such a shock to us. The last time we saw him in the office he said that he was doing well and felt good. He always had a great attitude and a smile. We will miss his visits.
Take care.
