To Mindy and your whole family,
I was so very sorry to hear about your Father. My parents called me today to tell me. I wish I could be there to offer my condolences in person, however, I am still in Vienna, Austria. I will always remember your Dad being so kind to us when we visited your home when we were kids. He would always embarrass you but he would make us laugh and make us feel at home and welcome. I would love to hear from you. My email is [email protected] My prayers are...
