Steve, Donna & Family:

I was sorry to hear of your Dad's passing. I have many happy memories from our years on Thornton Park. You parents were wonderful people and best friends. Can you just imagine the reunion when Lillian greeted him at Heaven's door?

Time, and your many happy memories, will heal the pain of your loss. Until then may you be comforted by the love and support of your family and friends.
