Dear Smith Family,
My thoughts and prayers are with you at this time.
I have such fond memories of your Mom and Dad at MD sporting events - specifically the basketball games and watching Maria and Monica cheering their brother on.
It was so nice to reconnect with them at Smith's Nut House when I moved back to OC. Every time I went in, we would talk about the "old days" at MD and how proud they were of all the children, grandchildren and great-grandchildren. ...
