Dear Mrs. Alberda, Brent and Linda:
Our family extends our sincere sympathy to you in the loss of your dear husband and father. Our thoughts and prayers are with you at this difficult time.
On the lighter side, Brent, I remember when I sang for your Eagle Court of Honor Service. What an honor! You wrote the song too.
I hope this finds you and your family well. Would like to keep in touch.
