How very blessed Randy and I have been to have known your mom and dad for 40 years. They welcomed us and our children, Deirdre and Matthew, into their family so we always thought of them as another set of parents and grandparents to our children. So many memories that we will continue to cherish with smiles on our faces and in our hearts. Love to you all and your wonderful families. With sympathy, Carolann and Randy Woodbury, Ct
