To the entire Sawyer family. It was with great sadness when I learned of the passing of your father and it is the same now on hearing of your mother also. Some of my fondest memories of growing up in Washington, DC, includes the memories of what great friends and neighbors the Sawyer family were. My sincerest condolences and deepest sympathies to each of you at this time. Sometimes I think we should have a "Crestwood area" reunion as I continue to think on all of you occasionally. My best wishes to all of you.
