With our deepest sympathy, Corey, in the loss of your loved one.
We’re asking God to be with you and your family now.
I will not leave you comfortless: I will come to you. John 14:18
Time has a way of soothing us and lightening our sorrows,
Time has a way of helping us and brightening our tomorrows,
and those who are concerned for you, and how you must be feeling,
we are hoping you’ll remember that time has a way of healing.
A warm note of comfort, care, and concern in the loss of your loved one — and a wish, with deepest sympathy, that time will bring you peace.
May you find comfort in God’s words and in the knowledge that others sympathize with you in your loss.
With Deepest Sympathy

I am so very sorry to hear about Ray’s passing. I was out to the river this week and ran into Bud Jetty and Chuck Byrum and no one mentioned this to me. I would have run up to Highmore if I had known. Please accept my sincere sympathy from my heart. Ray was very special to my folks as were you. I will call Don in the morning to notify him as he doesn’t get the paper any more. Again, I am so sorry about this unfortunate event. Jim
