Pam,
We were so sorry to hear about your Dad passing away. It seems like just yesterday that our parents were young. How quickly the years go by for all of us. We think of you often. Please keep in touch and let's get together soon. Good friends are one of the few lasting joys in life, which is all too brief.

Dear Pam,
My deepest condolences on the loss of your father. My friend, we share the belief that the soul is immortal. Trust then that your father has fulfilled his purpose in this life, and will rest in peace until his rebirth. Be comforted in the knowledge that the soul always has a purpose for choosing this life, and when our purpose is accomplished we must move on. It is the way of things. May your beliefs bring you comfort and your heart be at peace.
Namaste,
Amit

My dear Pam,
I send my deepest sympathies on the loss of your esteemed father. I pray that Allah have mercy upon his soul always. Your father's benediction (his legacy) is a child well raised. Indeed you are a remarkable woman, and truly your father can be greatly proud of you. I understand your beliefs differ from mine, and I deeply respect the convictions you hold, as you respect mine. Daughter of Egypt, I am and always shall be honored to count you as my friend.
Respectfully,
Mohamed

Dear Pam,
Our sincere and heartfelt condolences on the sudden demise of your beloved Dad. Yes, I was aware that he had been ailing quite awhile. But the progress he was making during the last month makes it a sudden one.
We wish you have the strength to overcome this difficult phase and extend support to your mom and other family members.
Please convey my heartfelt condolences to your beloved mother. I can never forget the interactions I had with her during my life in Chicago.
Let's stay in touch.

Pam,
So sorry to hear about your Dad, luv. I just found out from Steven, and I wanted to sign this book for you. Your Dad raised an amazing woman. I've never known anyone who stood by their principles as you do, and had the courage to stand up for what is right regardless of how hard that is to do. If you should ever need anything please let me know.
With affection,
Matt
