Please accept our deepest condolences for your family’s loss.
Dear Mary Lou, Dill and Nancy, I was so sorry to learn of your Dad’s death. I will always remember him as such a kind and friendly neighbor to our family. I did not realize he had been ill, or that your mother was no longer living. I was glad Deborah sent me his obituary. John & I and our youngest son, Christian, live in Winnetka, Illinois, near Chicago. We plan to return to NC when John retires in 2011, and Christian goes to college. I am sorry we could not attend the service for your Dad, but we will pray for God’s comfot and peace for all of you. Please accept our sympathy and our love too. We hope you and all of your families are well. Much love, Carol , John and Christian Alexander
