Mark, Scott, and Sue,
I remember you from years ago when we lived across the street, on Eastwood. We enjoyed celebrating your parents' 25th anniversary party and exchanged Christmas cards with them for years, most recently 2020. I know your Dad was an avid gardener and dahlia lover. He was low-key about the prizes he won at shows. You are fortunate to have had him in your lives for so many years. I'm sorry for your loss and wish you God's peace in the months ahead.
