To our dear friends,
We had the privilage of meeting and spending time with your dad/grandfather. He truely was a likable and genuine man.

Your Heavenly Father understands your grief and is there beside you to comfort you and share your tears. Let Him be your all-in-all in this loss.

Sincerely, Vicki and...
