Joyce, you do not know me, nor have you ever met me. I want to send my deepest condolences to you and the rest of your family.
I just now learned of your father’s passing about an hour ago, and it has me with a heavy heart.
I was the representative that provided your father with new windows for his home in Three Rivers.
I had went back to visit with your Dad about a month ago, so now I’m really grateful for those few more hours that I was able to spend with him.
It was beyond an honor meeting and doing business with your father, he was one helluva man.
We were actually supposed to enter a trap shooting contest in a couple weeks. I was actually planning on going to see him around Christmastime just to spend more time with him.
I really hope this message reaches you.
I would really love it if you could reach out and contact me. My business card is in the folder with the contract paperwork, I have my cell written on it.
Joycie:
So Sorry to Hear about your Dad!! Please Accept Our Sincerest Condolences!! Much Love!! ??
