Judy, Michael & JoAnn, Mercy and I send our deepest sympathies to you.
Your father has been a very close friend for forty years. He was always there to help and provide direction no matter what the issue was. We had many enjoyable conversations at all hours of the day and night. If he was there he always answered the phone and was ready to talk. Our prayers are with you.
Love,
Mercy & Ruel
