Jeanie and family,
I wrote a message to you all but don't think it got sent. I just wanted to say Thank you for sharing your Dad with me when I was in High School and also for many years after graduation. Without your Dad and family my High School Days would have been unbearable for me. I felt very honored to be one of you all. I will always think of you as my sisters and brothers.
Love to you all,
Pat Gregory and Jim
