My dear lifelong friend my heart broke when I heard about your husband . I am so sorry, praying for you and your family.
Dear Janice & Family...,
I was so shocked and saddened to learn of Duane’s sudden passing!!
I will miss his feisty remarks, sheepish grin, and dry sense of humor! He always “kept me on my toesâ€! Loved that guy, as you know, Janice; and love you, too, my sweet friend!!
Regretfully, I was not able to attend the services yesterday, due to a previous commitment. I will come visit, when convenient for you.
Sending you all my love and prayers in hopes that in some small way they will bring you some comfort and peace....
Love,
Sip
