Meghan and Mike,

I went to St. Cecilia's grade school with Virgil, he was a fun guy when we were young he was always being silly with everyone. At our 50th grade school reunion last year it was great to see him again, he had a great time with all of us, it was as if were in kids again. Love Dale Mary Dallas

Mike / Megs, so very sorry that your father / in-law has passed. I searched my email in memoriam for some of the messages and good Republican emails that you passed along from him. I used to love getting those. They made me smile. He is missed.

Dear Grewe family-
My thoughts and prayers are with you at this time. I'll always remember Meg's dad- "The Virg" and how sweet and funny he was our freshmen year in college. I'm so sorry for your loss.

Thanks for taking me into the family and being the best father-in-law I could ask for. I'll always cherish the many golf outings we had, and will think of you with every provisional I take from now on. Your decision to fight gave you a month to know your grandaughter, which I am forever grateful. Hanley Rose will know her grandpa through all the great memories we have. Love ya Virg.
