Dear Sue, Karen & David;
I am sorry to read of you dad's passing and services earlier this week. I recently passed through our old neighborhood, thought of all of you, and recalled what a good place it was to grow-up - made that much better by fathers like your dad. My condolences to you and your families during this difficult time.
Best Regards,
John Ford
