Dear Jennifer and family. Our family is sorry for your loss and sends their condolences. My mother worked as a social case manager at Burnley while Sal was director and she often speaks of him. He made a good positive impact on her life and the many clients in their care. Our thoughts are with you.

Dear Jenni and Sal Wm.:
We are so sorry about the loss of your husband and father. No matter how long we've been together on this Earth, we're never ready to say good-bye, but be comforted by the knowledge that you will be together again one day. I know that it sustains me in times of grief. I'm sorry I can't make it to the funeral, since I'm visiting my family in South Jersey, but I will be here for you if you need anything in the future.

Dear Jen, Sal-William and Family,
I am sorry to hear of your tremendous loss of Sal. It is hard to believe that it has been 20 years since I first met Sal. He will be missed. I know that he is with God now, and is no longer in pain and suffering. You are in my prayers. If there is anything that I can do to help, let me know. May God's graces be with you at this sorrowful time.
