  5. I am deeply saddened about the loss of my childhood friend. Please accept my sincere condolence on your loss. Reginald was one of my closest friends and will always be in my thoughts. He was a kind, compassionate and true gentleman. It was just a joy to simply be in his presence. I am so thankful that God allowed us to cross paths. As famous poet said, “Count where man’s glory begins and ends and say my glory is I had such friends.”
    In Friendship. And Sorrow,
