Dearest Scott, Laura, and family,
I knew your father to be a gentle man and a gentleman. He was always so nice to me. I so enjoyed watching the tender and loving interaction between he and Isabell. There are no words to comfort you at this time, so I will not try - but please know you are in my thoughts and prayers. With much sympathy, Elizabeth
