Dear Mrs. Condon, Mary, Janet, Lanie, Jamie, Matt, and Dennis, I was saddened to hear about your dad. He was always the nicest father in the neighborhood. I remember him grilling lamb, and then standing in line with you guys to get my face mopped. Also remember trips to the Cape...some of the best times I've ever had. My thoughts are with you.
