I am so sorry to learn of your loss. I saw the name in the paper and wondered if it was the "flooring people". You and your family are wonderful to do business with and I know your wife will be missed. Praying for all.

I didn't know Dottie personally. But I knew Tom and his parents from business in flooring. Although it's been a long time since I saw Tom, I wish to extend my condolences. This is a hard walk to walk.
