To the May Family:
Please accept my sincere condolences on your loss. I enjoyed the several visits I had with Mrs. May during my internship at St. Peter’s. What a wonderful, delightful, and faithful woman and great conversationalist! I will keep the May Family in my thoughts and prayers during this time. “Blessed are those who mourn, for they will be comforted.” (Matthew 5:4)

Dear May Family,
The wandering mob of kids on Split Rock Drive always seemed to wind up at the May house. “Mrs. May” was the perfect den mother to monitor our antics. She rolled with all our goofy games but when you got the occasional stern look, you knew that you had crossed the line. 
What a wonderful lady and I hope that her memory always brings you comfort and peace.

Dear Jeff and family,
I see your mother’s obit in today’s paper. You have our sympathy. She lived a long life, but still the loss of a parent is sad and so final. Once in a while I would go past your home in Landis Farms and wonder if your partents were still living. Thinking of you all brings back good memories of our childhood days.
Regards,
