Dearest Ted, Andrea, Mimi and Claudia,
We have felt like part of your family for so many years it hardly seems possible. Anne was always so ready to include us and help us get used to living up here, and so helpful when Monica was born. She even made Patty's father feel welcome. We could never thank any of you enough.
We pray that God's light will shine down on you all and help you through this difficult time.
All our love,
Billy & Patty Ryszytiwskyj
