Dear Brenda, David & Robert,
We were out of town when your father died, and I was shocked to hear the news. Not long ago, I ran into John at Eagle's Trace. How proudly he spoke of your many accomplishments since we were kids on Tosca Lane! Looking back, your mom and dad always had the best holiday parties... and dog names. Who could forget Deogi? :-)
Your father leaves a great legacy. Cherish it and hold near the memories of time spent together, milestones...

Although I did not know Mr. Hefner, I know his son David well, and I have the greatest respect for David, a true leader in American health care. David obviously came from "good stock", and my sympathies are with him and all the Hefner family on the loss of their father. Regards, DEL
