To Lisa, Anna, John, and Mark
I was so sad to hear of the passing of your dad, I wish I had known so as to pay my respects in person. I will never forget your mom and dad, you all were a bright part of my life, and a time I will always remember. Though time has separated all of us, I will always remember that part of my life with fond memories of you all and your parents. Your mother was like a second mom to me. I wish to express my heartfelt sympathy to all of you.

My thoughts and prayers are with your family. I worked with your mother (Betty Meihofer) when she worked for Terry Halleck. Your mother was a dear friend of mine and I still miss her. She was a wonderful woman who loved her family. I also had the pleasure of meeting your father. Be encouraged that they both loved all of you dearly.
