Tracine and family,

I did not know your dad, but I know how very special he was to you. I am so sorry I could not make it to the service Saturday, but I had a family function previously planned. Please know that you and your family are in my thoughts and prayers. Our Lord will carry you through this most difficult time.

I was fortunate enough to at least talk to your Dad once on the phone and your Mom was nice enough to "treat me like one of her own." Tracine you know whatever you need, whenever you need it-Daniel and I are here for you and your family. We love you and your family is in our thoughts and prayers. Mary Kay & Daniel
