Dear Susie and Andy,

I just wanted to say how sorry I am for your loss. I hope you can find comfort in all the wonderful memories you have to draw on. I remember with smiles all the kindness your parents extended me when I visited and worked in Arizona and even a few distant memories of when we were kids ans visited with my folks (long ago and far away :). I had read your dad's death notice on line in the Grand Forks paper when I was researching a cousin of my dad's. Please let us know if you decide to do anything up north or if there is anything that any of us can do to help. Mom sends her sympathy as well. Keeping all of you in my prayers.

Love,
Sue
