Dear Patti and Mike,
I remember your Dad's kindness and his love for you two, and of course, your dear Mom. I have such fond memories of your Dad always being there when we came over to your house, picking me up (hitch-hiking) and his gentle ways with all your friends. Your Mom must be celebrating his return home and so excited to be with him again! I can see them both dancing together and enjoying life. I know how much you two will miss your wonderful Dad. He was a great man.
Love,
Lee Williams
