To Cathy and her family.
I am so sorry to hear of the loss of your Dad. I wanted to let you know how much I enjoyed seeing him in the office all of these years. He was always happy and he always had a story to tell about his family. I would say, "Hi David, how are you doing?" And he'd always say, "Well, I'm still kickin', not as high as I use to, but I'm still kickin!" I'll never forget your wonderful Dad.
Love, Janet Phillips
