Praise the Lord, O my soul; all my inmost being, praise his holy name. Praise the Lord, O my soul, and forget not all his benefits — who forgives all your sins and heals all your diseases, who redeems your life from the pit and crowns you with love and compassion, who satisfies your desires with good things so that your youth is renewed like the eagle’s. (Psalm 103:1-5)

Kim, I am truly sorry for your loss. I haven’t kept in touch with since high school but I had dealt with Chris at the bank a few times as his advisor a few years ago. I had always asked your mom about you whenever I ran into her at the temple. My deepest sympathies.

Dear Kim,
We returned from some time away, scanning the old newspapers, to find the terrible news of your wonderful husbands passing. We are so sorry Kim. In the short time we knew you and Chris we truly enjoyed your company. We are happy to have the wonderful memory of our dinner together at the beach house where Chris had us laughing all night. He was a gentle, kind man and our hearts go out to you. Please call us if you need anything. You know where we are. Frances and Ted Anderson
Dearest Kim.

We will be in touch soon. Love Gail
Dearest Kim,
I am so sorry for your loss. We at the office will miss Chris’s smile and kindness. Please let me know if there is anything I can do for you and Lucy at this difficult time.
Chris, “say hello to Linda when you see her in heaven!” We will not see you both but our hearts and thoughts are with you at all times.
