Dear Marilyn & John, I was so saddened by the lost of your wonderful Father. He was such a fine man with a wonderful sense of humor & kindness about him. His eyes always had a sparkle in them & he always called me by name. It was my pleasure to get to know him & he will be missed by everyone here at The Chesapeake. May God hold you close during this time of sadness. Liz Anslow
