Not sure what to say?

Dear Sue,
This morning, feeling my (our) age, I was just wondering how you are. It's been so long, but you are a part of so many of my memories of young adulthood. Now that I have a granddaughter, Holie's Tasha, who is getting to that age, those memories pop up more often. When I googled your name, your dad's obituary was the first identifiable hit.

Sue, Cindy and family,
You are all in my thoughts and prayers.
Your Dad and Mom were my neighbors since 1991. My husband, who passed away eleven years ago, also worked with Dick at L3 Communications.

My deepest sympathy and prayers go out to the whole family.

He was one of the most sincere people I...

Loved working with Dick at JET and living next to Cindy and Bob for many years. A good man and always interesting to talk to. Susan and I will keep your family in our prayers this Sunday.

So very sorry for your lose Sue and Cindy. He was a living father and a very good human being. What wonderful daughters he had.
