Dear Sherry, Cynthia and families, I was so sorry to hear of the loss of your Dad and now your Mom. I was your Dad's secretary at Suffolk Law for approximately six years. I heard of your Dad's passing on the day of his funeral and am so sorry I was not able to attend any of the services. I was very fond of your Dad and all of my memories of Suffolk Law are more special to me because of him. Although I never knew your Mom very well, I know that they they both cherished each other and their beautiful daughters. You are all in my thoughts and prayers. My God bless you all. Sincerely, Darlene Hyldburg
