Dear Jannelle,
I remember your father dearly when your family lived on North Fremont Avenue in Bellevue. My brother Paul died last year so I know the feeling of losing someone so close. Plese know my thoughts and prayers are with you.

Dear Russ,
So very sorry to learn of your father's passing. It's ironic, for some reason I was just thinking of you & your family, even after all these years since you left the Burgh. May you find comfort during this sorrowful time. Our prayers will be with you all.
