Connie, Tom and family,

Pat informed me about your fathers passing. I am so sorry for your loss. Please don't hesitate to ask for any help. I would be happy to babysit with the boys if you needed. Just let me know. Again I am so sorry for you and the rest of your family for your father's passing.

Love,
Vicki and Johannes Lorenz
