Terry:

I was sad to hear of the passing of your husband. Much like you and I use to walk at lunchtime several years ago when we were at Holland Avenue Region 1 Office, your husband's walking with God now. Take care and God Bless you and your family at this time. From your old "walking buddy", Gail.

Dear Terri,
Frank and I send our deepest sympathy in the death of your dear Dave. It has been a long time since we saw you, so we knew nothing of his illness and were surprised to learn that he had died. We have many happy memories of being swimming parents together at BC. Dave was a great guy; we are so glad we got to know him.
