Mrs. McKenna, Laura, Diane, Beth and all the grandchildren, I saw Mr. McKenna at the Palomar Centre about 2 months ago and we got to chat for a little while. It was great to see him and catch up a little bit. It was a pleasure to see him. I am so sorry to hear of his passing. I know he was so loved by all of you and that you will miss him terribly. My deepest sympathy to all of you during this sad time.
