Jack, Ivan & Mike:

Sorry for your loss... I just found out about your fathers passing last night. Ivan and Mike, you guys helped mold me into the man I am today and for that I thank you. If it had not been for your Ivan, I would have dropped out of school in the 10th grade. Mike, you helped me along during the formative years of my Law Enforcement training and had the faith to trust me in some crucial times. God Bless.. you all are in our prayers.

Mike, Ivan and Jack,
I apologize for missing the visitation for your father. Your father was always one of my special adult role models during our teen years. He would take time for us and always took an interest in our activities. You all are in my thoughts and prayers. Mike and Ivan lets get together and talk about "old times"

I am sorry for your loss. Mr. Winston was a wonderful man. I was thinking of him this week when I moved a picture of a rose that he grew and photographed and gave to me as a wedding give. Such a lovely man!
