It is with deepest sympathy
that we write to you,
realizing how profound must be
the sorrow when he is taken away
who for so many years has been
the comfort and pride of a husband
and father, permit us to join
with you in grief.
We offer you our sincere
sympathies.
Your most sincere neighbors,
Larson, Katherine W.
