Dear Helen, Teresa, Mike, and Jerry:
I was so sorry to read Tom's obituary in yesterday's paper. Please accept my condolences for your loss.
Also, I was surprised and saddened by the fact that Tim had preceded him in death. Our mutual friend Phil was able to find some information about him, and talked to Teresa yesterday. Again, I am sorry for the loss of your son and brother.
I will not be able to attend the visitation, but will be thinking of you all on Monday.
With warmest regards,
Sherry
