Sharon and family,

We are so sad to hear of Otto's passing. We just now found out when Ted and Janine got a piece of mail addressed to his estate. Know that we think of you often and you are in our prayers. We always thought of Otto as our 'dad'. We love you guys.

I'm so saddened to learn of Mr. Rapert's passing. I have many fond memories of my earlier years at their home on Vanderbilt in College Park and growing up with Bonnie. Such a nice family and great times with them all. Our thoughts and prayers are with the entire family during these difficult times.
