Cheryl,
What an amazing man your father was. You are so blessed to have had such an amazing relationship. I love that his art is living on through your daughters. Now you can be queen of the puns! We at Friends are very lucky indeed!

Dearest Cheryl,
If your Dad would out-do you in corny jokes, puns, and limericks, then he must have been extraordinary because you are one of the best in that department. My thoughts are with you, Chantal and Allie, and your family at this time.
With love, Corinne
