    Dear Doris and Guy,
    We send you our deepest sympathies on the passing of your dear mother.She had lived a long life, and we realize that her death was not untimely,but that does not ease the pain of parting, nor the sense that the circle of family is broken once again.
    We always enjoyed speaking with Mrs. Bruce when we were in your office on Front Street.She was always so cheerful. You will have many wonderful memories to sustain you through this difficult time.
    May God be with you. Gray and Pat Thomson

    My deepest sympathy to all, in the passing of your mother.
    Your mother has lived through a lot of history from the sinking of the Titanic, 2 world wars, just think of the inventions and simply the style of living. She has seen it all. Remarkable Lady!
