Dear Susi -
I worked for Joe in +/-1988, in his law office. I was extremely sad to hear of his passing. I was out of town the first weekend in June or I would have attended his services. I will keep you in my prayers.

Dear Susie,
I was so saddened to hear of your loss. Unfortunately, I did not hear about this until June 2nd. I loved your husband. He was such a sweet and caring man. He loved his family! He was such a wonderful father whom adored his children. I am happy that he is with Vincent and know that is a joyous reunion. My heart goes out to all of you. Please let Dori know that I am thinking about her and that I love her! You are all in my thoughts and prayers during this difficult time.
Sincerely,
Melissa Thurmond, Dori's Kinder Teacher
