I am sorry to hear about the death of your father. My prayers are with you. I enjoyed your father very much and of course your mother when I was a priest at St. Joseph's. Your father and I really hit it off pretty well. He was very likable. I've seen your mother here and there and she seems to be very happy. Hope you are both doing well.
