My Dearest Amy and Family,
I'm so sorry to hear of the passing of your father and loved one, Richard.
I have so many fond memories of "dad" when I use to sleep over at the house as a teen and the time he let me drive his car when I was just barely 15...not to mention the parties we would have!

With much...
