Mayor and Mrs. Bourne,
John was my best friend through elementary school, and the thoughts of our summers at the lake will always put a smile on my face. Those were some of the best times of my life, even though we were only ten or eleven. He will always live in my memory and I will always remember the years when our main transportation were bicycles and we always made adventures out of every day.
Peace be with you and your family.

I was sadden to read of your loss. I too have loss dear love ones in death. But my true comfort came from above. As 2 Corinthians 1:3 states, "Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of tender mercies and the God of all comfort."� This helps us to appreciate that God can help his faithful servants to endure any problem or challenge. Please look to him to bring true comfort at this sad time. I am again sorrow about your loss.

Please accept my most heartfelt sympathy for your loss. My thoughts are with you and your family during this difficult time. John and I sat next to each other in the 7th & 8th grade at College Prepatory school and John was only 2 days older than me. I have many fond and funny memories of John when we were young teenagers.
In Deepest Sympathy,

I can’t comprehend just how sad you must feel
For the loss of someone you love.
This sorrowful time must still feel unreal
And you’re looking for strength from above.


I hope, from my heart, that your pain will decrease,
That your spirit will gain strength again,
And I pray that your faith will create inner peace
And that God will send blessings--Amen.


Till then, if you need me to lighten your load,
I’m waiting to come to your aid.
Just call on me, and I’ll walk down that road,
Until the dark times start to fade.


Deep condolences,

Dawn Kinard

Words, however kind,
can't mend your heartache:
but those who care and
share your loss wish you
comfort and peace of mind.
May you find strength
in the love of family
and in the warm embrace
of friends.

Deepest Sympathy,
