Laurie and family,

I am so saddened to hear of your father’s passing. I didn’t know, as you know, until today. Otherwise, I would have attended the service. My thoughts and prayers are with you. Again, I’m very sorry. Death leaves a heartache no one can heal, love leaves a memory no one can steal.
