Dear Ray & Family,
I’ve always cherished that day, a couple of years ago, when we played golf with both of our Dad’s and think of how that particular day, the rain, and wind made our round somewhat challenging. Through it all we managed not only to get in the full 18 holes, but we did it with smiles all around, despite the wet & soggy conditions. That day our sunshine came from within each of us by making something good from a rainy day at the golf course. One particular moment that was most memorable, was when your Father, having reached the green in regulation, sank the undulating 20 footer for birdie and the look of excitement on his face…….. Wow that was Fantastic! That day taught me that good friends and a round of golf can make the sun shine no matter how cloudy it is. I’m sure as he enters into God’s Kingdom all his days will be sunny now, and all his putts will be for birdie.
We will be keeping you and your family in our prayers.
Always,
Joe & Annmarie Santucci
