Terry,
I was so sorry to hear about your Dad, I have such good memories of us growing up together and how wonderful your parents were to me. I always felt loved and welcomed in your home. I will never forget when your dad taught me to water ski and all the good times we had at Lake Hartwell. Please know that you and your Mom are in my thoughts and prayers at this time.
With Love,
Karen
