Dear Mike & family,

My mom called tonight after she read about your Dad in the paper. I just wanted to take a moment and let you know you are in my thoughts & prayers at this time. Remember the good times, and give yourself time to grieve.

I remember the night I found those 2 kittens out by my car in front of your parents house. Your Dad was so cute (for lack of a better word, and not his usual countenance) as he played with them before he found me a box to take them home.

Lean on those around you & keep your memories in your heart.
