Dear Debbie, Hali, & Alyssa,
We are so sorry about the loss of your father and grandfather. I am so happy that you had the opportunity to spend his last few days with him at home. I hope that Alyssa will always remember him through the wonderful things he said to her when saying good-bye. Hali almost had me in tears telling me about him. He sounded like a wonderful man.
Love, Carol and the Anthony Family
