Dear Bill and Family,
Please accept my condolences on your loss of Rita. She was Maid of Honor at my wedding to Jane Wilder in 1956. Rita and Jane were classmates in the Barat class of 1952.

Dear Bill and family. I was so very sorry to hear about Rita and you all have my thoughts and prayers. Sorry I was unable to attend the funeral because I was out of town. I will have a Mass said for Rita soon.

My deepest sympathy to you all,

To My Uncle Bill and all my cousins,
I am so saddened to hear of Aunt Rita's passing. I will always remember her soft spoken and kind manner. Losing a wife and mother is a very difficult person to lose. My thoughts are with you all.

Dear Mr. Nash,

My condolences on the passing of Mrs. Nash. I always enjoyed seeing you at mass at St. Francis Xavier, where I went to school with your son Ted. My own father recently passed away, so I send my sympathy and solidarity to you at this time.

Sincerely, Kathleen
