Dear Family,
Sorry for your loss. Although we have never met, both of your parent's had an impact on our lives. Before we were married in 1982, we sat down with both your Mom and Dad about an apartment in thier new home. We were to live upstairs. We had a wonderful tableful of fruit, and conversation. Your Dad took out the blueprints to have use look at. If we wanted any changes, he was willing to make them. I helped with whatever we could. Mostly it was removing the brush around the house. Although we never moved in, it was not because we did not want to. It was because of timing. The two of them treated us like family, and we too have never forgotten. They are together now, may God bless you all. You are in our thoughts and prayers.
