Dear Dad. Congratulations of your new heavenly accommodations! Hope the neighbors will be interesting and joyful. I'll bet you're busy up there, meeting with old pals and long lost family members -- Give my regards to all the friends and family who have gone on before. Glad we got a chance to spend so much time together in the last years of your life here. My kids send their love, especially my son, Aaron, who truly adores you. No doubt, he will miss you very sincerely. He regrets not having more time to have taught you to play chess. We're glad to have had our last supper together, with you, at Denny's, your favorite restaurant; and to have spent so much time laughing. Certainly, I've inherited your sense of humor, which has weathered me throughout many trying circumstances. We wish you well....stay in touch.

With warmest regards, your daughter, Salee'
