Hattie,

I was sorry to hear that your Husband had passed away. I am thinking of you and praying for you at this time. I hope the very best for you as you go on. I think it proper to let you know how much I appreciate the way you helped at the Nursing Home. I will not forget you. Take care.

Mrs. Duncan,

Please accept my condolences and sympathy for the loss of Bob. I know you two have been together for so many happy years. I remember the good times we used to have at the bowling alley in the Church League. My prayers are with you.
