Dear Mrs. Rush, Mary, Joseph, and family,
We are sending our thoughts and prayers to your family in your time of loss.
Although we met him only once at Rachael's wedding, we found him to be utterly charmng. We have also heard wonderful stories of him through Mary.
May your memories of him bring you comfort.
