Dear Dave & family,
We were so sorry to hear about Aunt Betty, she was such a sweet soul and will be truly missed. I always enjoyed talking to her when we got together for our family gatherings— she was always so kind & gracious.
We will be holding you up in prayer at this difficult time.
Our deepest sympathy
