Dear Darrell and Delana,
I am so incredibly sorry for your loss. Ms. Holly was one of those special people who will never be forgotten. I can still remember her rushing around here like a little whirlwind, but she always had time to smile and say “good morning”. She was a lovely spirit who will be sorely missed.
My thoughts and prayers are with you,
Catherine

Darrell, Please accept my sincere condolences on the passing of your mother. Although I never had the pleasure of meeting her I am sure she was a wonderful mother and grandmother.
Dwell on your memories of her, that and the help and support of friends and coworkers will help you through this difficult period.
Sincerly, Alan, Planning & Budget

Mr. Raymond & family: Yoneko told me yesterday of your wife's passing and I was so saddened to hear about it. I will always remember her visits to the Barr's home, especially when she would look at Yoneko's flowers and garden. I know you all will miss Hatsuko, but she loved her family and spoke of you all often. I will continue to remember you in my prayers that God will give you strength during the days ahead.
Love, Becky Joyner (Al & Yoneko's neighbor)
