Condolence: To the Family of Mrs. Waldron: May your hearts find comfort and strength in God's wonderful promise for the near future (John 5:25,28), as you mourn the loss of your dear loved one. Please accept my heartfelt condolences.

Condolence: Although Rachel and I had become acquainted with my cousin Lois and her husband Robert only in relatively recent years, we are still so grateful for the visits we enjoyed with them in their homes. I quickly came to appreciate Lois’s direct and rational view of life and all that she had experienced. We recall so well our last visit to Caledonia when Lois led us on the short walk to a nearby restaurant for lunch together.
We want Lois’s family to know how much we treasure her last phone call to us, only a week or so before her death, in which she announced in typical Lois style, “I’ve called to say, ‘Good-bye’ “. I’m grateful that for the time we enjoyed reminiscing over family history, our regrets, and yet our satisfactions over having gotten reacquainted after all those lost years. So now I say to Lois, “Hail and Farewell”.
