Dear Nancy, Kay, and Elaine,
I was so sorry to learn of your father's death. I'll always remember
how he "put up" with Nancy and me when we hung around the store.
Wishing you peace,

You have our deepest sympathy and our prayers are with you. I remember "Bud" when he had the little store there on the corner. My sister and I used to walk up there all the time (my mother still lives there on Sunlight Avenue).
