Dear Mrs. Stevens,

I am so sorry to hear of your loss. I met you and Mr. Stevens many years ago on one of your visits to Br. James at Lewis University. We struck up a conversation regarding your granddaughter Lauren and thereafter she became one of our valued student employees in the President's office. My deepest sympathy on your loss.

Uncle Ed was the kindest, most wonderful man alive. He will be missed by all of us and we will especially miss his loving nature and warm smile. Aunt Mutzie, you and your family are in our prayers.

My heart is broken to hear that my friend is no longer here to listen to those irish tunes I loved to send him, and to see the warmth and love in his eyes for all around him. God Bless you Margaret, my second mother, how can I even start to say what you both have meant to me. Take comfort in your children and grandchildren, God be with you in this very sad time. Love, Nadean

We are saddened to hear of your great loss. We got to know you through our son Tim cutting your lawn. We always thought Ed was such a kind person. We were sorry when you moved away. Our thoughts and prayers are with you all. May God give you His peace.
