"I will miss you grandma!"
"I'm sorry that I couldn't make the memorial service for Julia; however, am sending my deepest sympathy to Julia's family. I have many fond memories of both Julia and Gil (got to know them from my dad, Fred Crossfield). She was a wonderful woman...and I adored both Julia and Gil (incl Gil's brother and his wife who lived up the street from us). You will all be in my thoughts and prayers."
