Dearest Cliff,

I didn’t realize you lurked around here! I’m feel joy stumbling on your post here and glad that you are still alive. I do still have the Klein greedy mug you gifted me over a decade ago. I enjoy showing it to my kids and once in a while to their class mates. Hope to one day share a meal together again!

Dear Cliff, I'm terribly sorry to hear of your passing, but am pleased that you have since gotten better. Cheers!

Dear Zombie Cliff, thanks for not eating me for my cranium is devoid of matter.

Oh we already mailed the letter: "Dear Mrs., Mr., Miss, or Mr. And Mrs. Stoll Words cannot express the deep personal grief I experienced when your husband, son, father or brother was killed, wounded or reported missing in action"

Oh my, but you know more than you can guess. About a year ago, my wife passed on. While deep in grief, I began receiving letters from financial institutions and banks that began, "Dear Mr/Ms Stoll, we offer our sincere condolences ..." How can a corporation have "sincere condolences"? They're the last place I'd go for comfort or sincerity.

Sad to hear about your wife’s passing. Sending you lots of hugs and love from across the pond.
