"To Bernie and Family, I am so very, very saddened to hear of the loss of your beloved husband and father. After the recent passings of both my dear Father and sister, I know all too well the pain that you are experiencing. It is at times like this that I wish I lived closer and could be there to attend his memorial service, and especially to drive my mother to Cannelburg to be with you also. We were both so sad when she called me yesterday to tell me about Bill and I have been contacting people non-stop trying to find someone to drive her down there. She is so sad to not be able to be there today with you. Sincerely, Cyndy Love"
