Dolores, I am so sorry to hear of Thomas’s death. We are considering a reunion and I thought of you two –googled your names and came upon the obituary. We hope you are doing well and would love to hear from you. Best wishes. Aggie M.
Mrs. Chase, I saw your husband obit in the newspaper today. I know it has been quite a few years since I ask saw you both, but I wanted you to know how sorry I was to see his passing. You both were such nice people and one of my favorite customers at the bank (Susquehanna Bank).
My job at the bank was terminated in February so I am "retired". My "Tom" has had throat and lung cancer over the last few years. I still have him and he seems to be doing fine right now.
Well dear, take one day at a time. Just wanted you to know that I am thinking and praying for you.

We are truly saddened by the passing of your beloved husband, Tom. I will remember all the Sundays that you and Tom were seated in the same pew for church services. It was so nice to see your smiling faces every Sunday.

Dear Dolly,
Please know that I am so sorry for your loss. Even though we lost touch these past years, I still have fond memories of the two of you and especially our good times at the Cotillion Dances. I lost Chuck on July 21, so I know the pain you are going through. Tom was a nice gentle man and I know he will be missed by all who knew him. I pray you will find peace and comfort in the love and caring of family and friends.
Blessings,
