Dear Michael and Jennifer,
I'm very sorry to hear of your Father's death. Although it has been years since I last saw him, I remember him fondly as an outgoing next door neighbor with a friendly laugh and willing to toss the football with us kids. I hope you find comfort in your memories of him. With deepest sympathy to you and your families.
