Dear David,
I am sorry to learn of your sister’s passing. Please accept my condolences. I remember times that she came to my mother for vitamin B shot when I would be visiting and she would stop for a brief chat. I always enjoyed them as she would share your news.
Once again, my condolences.
Sincerely,
Jim
Charlie, I’m so sorry to hear about your mother. Just wanted to let you know that you are in my thoughts and prayers.
