Dear Stoltz and Mendenhall family,
Please accept my deepest sympathy for the recent loss of your mother, grandmother and sister. I have fond memories of Steve and Anne from my childhood in early adult years. I always looked up to and respected Anne and Steve and their many accomplishments. No doubt, Anne and Steve left behind a fine heritage that made them both very proud. May your fondest memories of Anne and Steve comfort you now and in the future.
Most sincerely.
