    Dear Beth and Susan,
    My deepest condolences to you on the loss of your father. Our families were friends for so many years–going back to our mothers going to school together.
    Every pair of shoes I had as a child I bought from your father.
    May memories sustain you during this difficult time.
    Sincerely,
