Dear Kerr Family,
With profound sorrow, I learned of your beloved family member’s passing. Though years have passed since our last encounter, the memory of his enduring presence remains vivid in my mind. When I saw his photograph, the emotions overwhelmed me, reminding me of the remarkable individual he was.
May he find eternal peace, and may God’s grace comfort and strengthen your family during this difficult time. My heartfelt condolences are with you.
Sincerely,
Jack was a great person and always had a remark for everyone. He would always come up with a one-liner. You could always count on Jack to be there if you needed him. To his wife and everyone of his children I say we truly lost a gentleman.
