Dear Cindy,
I just heard about your father's death.
It as a pleasure to work for him at AmShip.
He was a great boss and an all-around gentleman.
He will be missed.
You are in my thoughts and prayers.

My deepest sympathies go out to my childhood friend, Scott, on the loss of your father.  I just happened to have checked the Lorain Journal online, and saw the posting in the Obituaries. 

I am sorry for your loss and I pray that the Lord will comfort you and your entire family during this time of sadness.
