Dear Aunt Mildred, Ronnie, David and families,
We are so sorry for your loss. Dad and mom has kept us informed as to Uncle Fred's declining health. I had hoped to come back for his service, but due to the recent death of Ron's dad we are unable as his memorial service is to be held on the 19th. Please know that you have been and will remain in our prayers during this time. We pray that God's love and grace comfort you and give you peace.
