Dear John, Mark and Matty,

I want you to know how sorry I am about your dad's death. It is hard to believe that he was 70 and your mom is 65. Some days it seems like we all just left Tacoma. I will never forget your dad's quick thinking and fast action the night Bobby decided to blow his finger off. I think of you boys often. Love, Linda
