Dear Katherine,
I am deeply saddened to hear of John's death. He and I have shared twenty rewarding years together as business partners and became as close as brothers. Together we learned about human nature, suffered some setbacks, and more than once helped each other get back up again. He never would let us fail.
He also shared how much he loved and cherished the time he spent with you. Every chance he had he would tell me the great times you and him had together. I especially remember the story he told me of your time together in New York City.
Please accept my deepest sympathy for your loss. If I can help in any way, please give me a call. My thoughts are with you at this difficult time.
With Sorrow,,
Peter J. Thomas
