Dear Sharon and Mrs. Wittek,



My deepest sympathy to you and your family, on the death of your father/husband. I was surprised to get an email from Debra letting me know that he had passed away. It made me think back to my grade school and high school days and I remember how nice Mr. Wittek always was to me.



I wanted you know that my prayers are with you during this difficult time. May the Lord be with you and comfort you!



Sincerely,

Marcia Harrington (Eisenbraun)

Sharon, I don't know if you remember me. I was Debra Eisenbraun. I just found out from my mom & wanted to let you know I'm sorry to hear about your dad.
