Dear Mrs. Devine and Family,
We have known each other since before kindergarten. We played together, we attended the same grammar school and have our fair share of fun. I am deeply sorrowed to read the paper today as that's how we, meaning my mom and dad found out. I remember your dad sponsoring a trip to his fire department in Trenton. I remember how he loved his motorcycle riding it even before his surgery on his hip. I remember his concern when I hit a parked car, that was your mom's. I remember everything and feel a total loss as he loved his dogs, he loved his family, and he loved his wife and kids. we are like family, but I will not be able to attend the viewing or funeral as I doubt my job would allow me to go. Jim, be a good son to your mom, even though you always are as he was proud of your children and Bob's children. i don't know what else to say to alleviate the pain, but always remember I love you all, even if we do not see each other as much as we would like to.
Peter
