Dear Sibbie, Debbie and Terry,
Jackie and I were so sorry to hear of your Mother's death. Our thoughts are with you all at this time. We missed the obit in the paper or we certainly would have been at the services.
Please accept our deepest sympathy.

Dear "Sibby" and family: Surprised to hear from me, I'll bet! I had heard that your mama was sick and was so sorry to hear of her passing. I lost my mama almost 3 years ago, and she too was a "young" 71--to early to leave this world! I know it is so hard to let go, but she's no longer in pain, and you and your sisters will have such sweet memories that will sustain you always. I will be thinking of you all and continuing to keep you in my thoughts and prayers. Take care! Your DCSH classmate, Becky

Dear Mrs. Houston,
I hope you are feeling better by the time you return to Chance School. I asked God to help you get through tomorrow feeling better than the day before. If you were here I'd give you a big hug. I love you.

Dear Debbie and family,

We were saddened to hear of the loss of your Mom. Even though she had been ill for a long time, it is never easy to say goodbye. You, your family and mother are in our prayers.

Love,
Steff, Dennis, Jacob and Christopher Jacobi

Dear Debby,
I was so sorry to read about Doris' death. You and your family have been so devoted to her and I know it is an unbearable loss. Last Thursday, Joanie Burgess and I played golf and we were talking about you all. There are just so many wonderful memories about visits to your house!
I left a message at Dolly's - I have 2 work commitments that make it impossible for me to be with you all tomorrow. Please know that you all are in my prayers.
Love,
Martha

Dear Family, I am a Hospice Social Worker and had the honor of meeting Ms. Tipton during her stay in Louisville, KY. I wanted to express my deepest sympathies to all of you. She was a true pleasure to visit and I enjoyed her stories about her family and her precious dogs. Our thoughts and prayers are with you. Sincerely, Carol Fleischaker, Social Work, Hospice of Louisville
