Condolences

Steve,
I am so sorry to hear of your mother's passing. I had not heard anything about it until I got a message from my parents after the funeral. I certainly would have contacted you earlier if I had known. Your mom was always so nice to me. She made all of your friends feel welcome in her home and we looked upon both of your parents as extensions of our own. I know that she will be missed by everyone that she touched along the way. I will try to get in touch but please call me if you ever know that you are coming up this way.

Your friend,
Wayne

Dear Steve, Sorry to read in the paper about the death of your mother. Cora was a lovely lady and I know you will miss her. Have no idea where you are at this time. The notice was late getting in the paper, so we did not get to the chapel or funeral service to visit with you. Hope all is well with you and family. Will inform Wayne today of your mother's passing. Please accept our deepest sympathy. Lots of fond memories of the good ole days.
Love, Dr. and Mrs. Fred Bergen
