    Dear Mr. Baldini,

    Sorry to hear of your loss. Our condolences go out to you and your family. It’s not easy losing a father (dad). You are in our thoughts and prayers. I work out of town during the week and can not attend the funeral in person on Thursday. I will be thinking of you and the special time we spent together as teacher/student and coach/player.

    God bless you!
