Dear Margaiel, Dean, Darleen, Diane and Pete,
Words can not describe how very sorry I am for the loss of your Dad. I will always have a fond place for him in my heart. He always reminded me of John Wayne; Quiet, strong and gentle. He will be sadly missed. My prayers and blessings to you all.
Love, Rhonda
