Dear Donna, Bill and Francine,

Our thoughts and prayers are with you as you say goodbye to your dad. He knew how to to be, no more than himself - a real nice guy, a good father. May he now be at peace as he rejoins your mom, who has awaited him with anticipation and joy. They both will live on in our hearts, through so many wonderful memories that we made along the way!

Our sincere condolences to each of you, on your personal loss.
