Dear Mrs O'Leary,
Please accept my sincere condolences on the loss of your precious husband.
I have fond memories of Mr O'Leary when I used to visit Karen D at the Chemist Shop. He always had something pleasant to say to me followed by that big smile of his.
Mrs O'Leary, you have certainly had your fair share of sorrow in your family & my heart goes out to you.

Thinking of you
Leonie (Lee) Armstrong.
