Dear Dave and Martha. Janet and I share your loss of your father. We know of your close association. May God be with you both in these trying times.

Dave and Martha, I was saddened to hear of your loss. My prayers are with you and your family. I will be unable to attend 'his celebration of life' due to other committments. God Bless and many prayers.
