Trisha, Ck and Family,

We are sorry to hear about the loss of your father. Our prayers are with you and your family. I know that your mother is happy that your father is now in heaven with her. If you need anything do not hesitate to call on us. I can remember the times that I spent with you guys at the house on woodhaven, when your mother and I worked at Busch, but mostly the memories when we all went to the beach and company pinics at Dow.
