Dear Marci, Steve, Dave and Chris,
Your Dad was one of my favorite people in the whole world.
We spent many days at Gars together and nights out singing Karaoke. He even sang at my wedding!
I am so sorry for your loss and my own loss of such a good friend.
May he rest in peace side by side with your Mother. He loved her so much.
