Dear Mrs Newman, Denise, John and families,
I am so sorry for your loss. I have such fond memories of Mr. Newman from our years in the King Country as friends and neighbours. Dad talks so highly of Philip, and tells very funny stories of some of their antics.
My thoughts are with you at this time.
Kindest, Sharon
