Julie, my thoughts and prayers are with you and your family as you say farewell to your dad. Loss of a parent is so hard, and with our current times of social distancing, even harder. May the memories you experience these days bring the warmth and joy of good times shared. May you experience a peace that can hug you when tears flow.
Love to you all.

Dear Carol and family,
Ira and I will always have fond memories of the times we spent with Bruce. He was a sweet man and we enjoyed hearing his stories. He was lucky to have had you and the family you built together and he knew that.
Fondly,
