Dear Gary,

I was so sad to hear about the loss of your son. David Grinnen sent me a text to let me know. I know I haven't seen you in years and yet when tragedy strikes there is no better place to turn then family. I want you to know you and your family are in my thoughts and prayers.

With heartfelt sympathy,

Terri Borroni

Joe, you had an amazing heart and was always up for some fun. You were loved by many people. It feels like yesterday that last summer you were down the corner hanging out with all of us and me and you were sitting on the hood of my car bullshitting and just talking about life. You left behind a piece of you that we will all carry with us. Rest easy up there buddy, save us a spot. We'll see you soon again, until than watch over us and your mom. We love you.

Love, Nikki.

Dear Gary:

You are in our thoughts and prayers as you go through this sad and challenging time. May you find comfort in your memories of better days with the laughter and love that you have shared.

Melody and Family,

Unfortunately, I will not be able to come to the funeral home to offer my sympathies in person as I have to work 12-9PM on Thursday.
It is so difficult to express my feelings in mere words--all I can say is that I am truly sorry for your loss. Please know that you are
in my thoughts and in my prayers.

Your cousin,

Please accept our sympathy on your loss. I wish I knew something to say that would help ease the pain you are feeling but I don't think there is such a thing. If there is anything we can do to help, please let us know. I will try to get to the funeral home to see you but I've been sick so I may not be able to.
