Rosie,
Hello my friend. Jeff and I just wanted to let you and Fred and the rest of your family know that we are thinking of all of you. I lost my daddy at the end of May, and know just what you are going through at this time. My dad loved you and I know how much you loved your dad as well. Please give us a call if you need anything at all. I tried to call you but have the wrong # sorry. I will try to make it on Sunday to see you.
Aloha, Lani and Jeff Jacoby
