Dear Leslie, David, Caroline Jeffrey, and Chrissie,

Joni and I were so saddened to hear the news of your Father's illness and passing. There is nothing that can take away the pain of losing a father, grandfather, and father-in-law except time and all of the great memories that he gave to you! I remember many stories of vacation time at the camp and how much fun you all had together. How blessed you all were to have had him in your lives for so long. Stay strong as you say your good byes to his earthly presence and know that he is always there looking down from his new place in heaven.

With all our love and prayers to the family,

Larry & Eileen Mandell
