Dear Betty

I know that you may not remember me but I've always remembered you because you were always so nice and kind to those of us in the pharmacy. I only met your husband a couple times at our Christmas parties but I could tell that he was a very fine man. My sincere condolences and thanks to you for nice memories of a co-worker. The pharmacy misses you Betty. Take care. Mike Ruff

Dear Betty -

My deepest condolences for you and your family in your loss. You and Chester were so wonderful to me when I first moved to Chicago (and began working at the University of Chicago Hospitals) so many years ago. I will never forget your kindness. May God give you strength during this difficult and emotional time.

Dear Betty, I will always remember the good times when joking around with Chester. I will miss him greatly.

If you ever need any "physical" help aroound the house, please do not hesitate to call Barb or me. We will be more than happy to help you. I sincerely mean it.

You will continue to be in my thoughts and prayers every day.

Love, Paul
