Dear Kathy, Linda and Mike,
So sorry to hear about your Dad, he will be missed by all. I'll always remember the time he made the go-cart for Mike and he took us to the parking lot at Arrow Transportation, where he had worked. It was on Sundays, so we could ride it. Time has passed by so quickly it seems like yesterday. Our Deepest Sympathies to each of you and your families.
