Condolences

To Rosie, your family and Pat:

We are so sorry to hear of Clark’s passing. Our sympathy goes out to all of you. We remember the good times we had with both of you when Clark would do our taxes and then we would go out for the evening. We really had some great times with both of you. We won’t be able to make it to visitation or the funeral due to Elsie being an election judge on the day of visitation, and we have an appointment with our tax agent, and I have a doctor’s appointent that morning.

Again, we are so sorry to hear about Clark. “We say goodbye to a great friend and a wonderful family man!”

To Rosie and Family,

I am so sorry to hear about Buddy and feel very torn not being able to be there with all of you at this time. We were returning from Hilton Head Saturday when Darlene informed us about Clark. Words can’t express how much he will be missed by everyone who knew and loved him. You are all in our thoughts and prayers, and I hope it helps you to know we have many fond and lasting memories of Buddy.

Sincerely,

Ron and Prudy Fitzsimmons
