hi bob and peggy and family
so sorry to read in the paper today about your dad passing away
he must have been a great guy to have raised an amazing son like you, bob
i was just talking to my partner jo-ann this afternoon that when we go to see the movie tonight at the varsity theatre tonight, i’ll be parking, as i often do on such occasions, behind the co-op
two minutes after this discussion involviing the co-op, i saw your dad’s obituary in the paper – quite a co-incidence
again my condolences

Dear Bob & Peggy
Sorry to hear about the passing of your dad. I only met him the once when I delivered meals to him. We had a good chat that day.
Our thoughts are with you.
