Dear Mary and Family,

I was saddened to learn of your fathers passing and want you to know that I am thinking of you.

I trust your own sense of personal loss will find comfort with the passage of time and the many memories you must have of a loved and loving father.

Please let me know if there is anyway I can be of assistance to you or your family.

God Bless You and Your Family!

Gary
