Dear Mrs. Marks,
We were distressed to hear from Brian Ellis that Jim had passed away after such a long illness.
We knew Jim to be energetic, enthusiastic, and a highly motivated employee—constantly looking after the company’s welfare. He worked as an inspector, a supervisor, and finally general manager, doing a splendid job at anything we assigned him. A company is only as great as the collected employees who represent it and give it purpose and meaning. Jim comes foremost to my mind in being that kind of representative.
I also know with certainty he was that kind of devoted husband and father. Please express my condolences to your sons.
All of us at Appleby share with you in your loss. Flowers from the office staff should be arriving shortly. Please accept this as a small token of our sympathy and a tribute to Jim and the fond memories he left with us.
Sincerely,
