Dear Family,

My sympathy is with you. Boyd and Fern were so well liked at BridgePoint at Los Altos Retirement Community. They were always an inspiration to residents, devoted to each other until the end. I very much enjoyed talking with Boyd when he came into the little Boutique store. He was always so gentlemanly, cordial, calm, and friendly.
