Dear Boudreau Family,
I am sorry to hear of your dad's passing. I'll always remember his cheerful smile when he saw us playing in the yard next door. And I always felt special when my class would take a field trip to the fire station because I knew a real firefighter - your dad. My deepest sympathies to you all.
