Dear Family of Uncle Bob,
I worked with Bob several years ago in retail and we remained friends for many years. He was at my wedding. He was such a kind man. He remembered my birthday and called me every year where we would catch up and he would share some of his wonderful stories with me. We lost touch a few years back and I never was able to reach him again. He was very much on my mind the other day, and I found your dedication to him regarding his passing. I was very sorry to hear this. My thoughts are with you. I would like to show my respect when you have his memorial next year. If you might let me know when you have a date. Thank you and God Bless.
