To the Scheitler Family,
I am sorry for the loss of your Father. I am an old friend of Stuart's from college. We dated and then remained friends. I hadn't spoken to him in years and could not reach him. I did not realize he passed away. I don't know what happened to him, but he was much too young. I wish your family peace.
