I am sorry to hear of the death of your father. It is so sad to see our parents' generation fade away. I have fond memories of visiting your childhood house in the 60's as Carol and I prepared for the Girl Scout Roundup and of the warm welcome I received from both of your parents when I visited.
Please accept my condolences.
Sincerely,
Mary Beth (Alonzi) Roth
