Joanne and Family,

I am currently in Delaware and am unable to give you my condolences in person for your beloved Dad. It is so hard for us to say goodbye to these wonderful solid men from "the greatest generation." You have been such a devoted and loving daughter and my heart and prayers are with you.

With love and peace,
