Dear Cathy and Steve,

You were both such a wonderful part of our teenage years and your parents were also. I remember your dad as always welcoming us when we were at your home in Wurtsboro Hills. Eric and I send our most tender sympathies for your loss and you are in our thoughts and prayers through these difficult days.

Cathy and Steve,

I send my sympathy to you. I know how hard it is to lose a parent, no matter when it is in their life that they die. Like me, I am sure you have good memories that will help in the future remember your Dad and bring a smile to your face. Cathy I took care of both my parents the last few years of their lives. I know the joys and sorrows that kind of committment can bring to a person. When your Dad meets you at heaven's gate he will thank his little girl for the care she gave him in his final years.

You are in my thoughts and prayers.

Karla
