Dear cousins Steven, Thomas, and Renee:
Our deepest sympathy for the loss of your dear father Steve. By an unusual coincidence I visited him on Saturday August 23 for the first time in many years. I learned that it was his birthday. We had a long conversation. I would have never thought he would be gone two days later.
Your cousin,
George Monkovic
