Dear Mrs. Regan and family,

I'm so sorry to hear of your loss. I'll always remember how Mr. Regan tried to revive my father the day he died. I also remember when I was little and my dad cut down a pine tree that held a nest of baby birds. I was so upset that the birds would die. Your husband leaned over the fence, took the nest from my dad and said the guys at the firehouse would take care of the birds and make sure that they learned to fly. I believed him. He was a kind man and a good neighbor. (And he taught us to put honey in our barbecue sauce -- my brother Glenn and I still do.) You and your family are in my thoughts and prayers.
