Mr. & Mrs. Strouse,

I am so sorry for your loss. Both Dave and Jeff were good friends of mine living down the street from you on Saylor. I have great memories of paying football in the street with both boys. They were really great guys. Please accept my heartfelt condolences.

Sincerely,

Chris Murphy
