Laura, Jaime and Family,

So very sorry for the loss of your Dad. He was such a nice man and I’m sure he will be missed by so many people, especially you!

My Daughter, Stacy, went to elementary school with you, Laura was in her class, but I remember both of you and your Mom. Tony was in my high school class as well, I’ve seen him and talked to him at some of our school luncheons.

My deepest sympathy to both of you and the family.
