Read MoreRose, Sorry to hear about your dad. Pat Glynn Dudley wrote me that he passed away. She told me how to get on the Post Tribune website and see his obituary. Now I will use this more often. I see your dad was 85! That is really something. I was born on August 18th. My heart goes out to you. Losing our parents is really hard. Thinking about you with sincere sympathy....Jen Davis

Dear Rose,
I read the Gary paper on line every day and was saddened to read that your dad had passed away. I know you had been preparing to move and not at work. Not sure how to get in touch with you by phone and your ebox at work is full. Know how much I am thinking of you and keeping you in my prayers. If you need to get away come to california! I will be here for you.
Much sorrow and love,
Pat
