Mr. John,

Please know that Larry and I are saddened to know that Ms. Gail is gone. I remember when I was in your office and waiting for my turn, she and I would just talk and talk while you prepared taxes. I looked forward to seeing her because she was such a lovely, warm lady. Remember when we saw you both a couple of months ago at Eva's Restaurant? It was so nice chatting with the two of you for a few moments. I can't believe that I will never get that opportunity to talk to her again.

My heart aches for you and the family, but look to God for strength and lean on Him for comfort. He sees the grief you are going through right now. Please know that you and your family are in our thoughts and prayers.

We love you, Mr. John.
