To all the Deffily family
So sorry for the loss of your father, he was a very kind man who I enjoyed having as my neighbor. He always waved and had time to chit chat and would stop what he was doing to loan me a tool or something I might have needed. All you guys showed your father an amazing amount of love and care during these last few years of his life, because of the love he gave you guys. God Bless and May Your Father Rest In Eternal Peace.
The Cheracles Family.
