      @ HMM: True out body is most dust, but we are also beautiful creatures of our Creator. In the business of life or for other reasons, we should highly regard the life of our neighbors.
      You could instead have extended condolence to his grieving family members, but you chose not to do so.

      Family members, close friends, and other who know the immeasurable value of life, I humble offer my condolences to you of the loss of life life of Mr. Watson. May God heal you of the pains that you are now feeling.
