Dear Janet and Linda, I am sorry to learn of your loss. Your Dad as well as your Mother are two of my favorite memories as my Mother and I visited their store so regularly when I was small and then I shopped with them when I became an adult. I played with you as I lived on Tucker in Mrs. Maclin's apartment and you were just around the corner. I wish you many good memories as you celebrate your Dad's life. Love Pat Ervin Vaughan
