I was very sorry to hear of Mr. Ditter's passing ... not "Henry," but "Mr. Ditter."

I am so sorry to hear of your loss. Henry was like a member of the family. We did not see it in the paper until after the visitation. We know he is in a better place now, with God. I know your mother was waiting for him. Your family is in our thoughts and prayers.
With love.
