"Hi Roy, As I was rereading my message to you (before I was going to send it), I accidentally pushed \send\" instead of \"preview\" and was going to change a word. The part where I said \"I wondered when I noticed she was taking the classes\" was SUPPOSED to have read \"I wondered when I noticed she was NOT listed as taking the classes. I just wanted you to know that I did realize I made that error and was trying to change it before I sent it"

"Hi Roy, I received a mailing from Parkview Church a couple weeks ago and noticed you were taking the classes to become a new member. That's great. Unfortunately, I have not been attending church regularly and did not realize until just now that Sherry had passed away--I wondered when I noticed she was taking the classes, as well. I decided to get online on the Fry Funeral Home site to see if what I suspected was in fact, true. I want you to know that you have my heartfelt sympathy. Sherry seemed like a very sweet and kind person--the kind of person you deserved. : ) You've always been such a kind and caring person yourself(I remember from way back when)so I'm happy you were blessed with the short, but precious time you did with Sherry. I'm sure you had a lot of good times together and have many special memories. I know the two of you went through a lot together and I feel so sad for your loss. If you ever need someone to talk to, feel free to either e-mail or call me. It would be nice to chat with you again. Take care, Roy. I'll keep you in my prayers. I hope you're doing ok. With heartfelt sympathy, Vicki My e-mail is vicki-wear@uiowa.edu and my cell is 319/331-2589. Which service do you usually attend? "
