Sue and family,

The service this afternoon was lovely! The memories shared had tears streaming down my face. I am honored to have met your father just this year. Even though I didn't know him well, the one hug was enough to know he was an awesome person. I know he will be greatly missed. Rest easy knowing that you honored him well today. May you have peace in your hearts. Love you so much Sue, thanks for being a great friend.
