Isa, Phoenix, and I offer our deepest sympathy to Bernie and Tom at the loss of their father.

Mr. McCann, as well as his late wife Evie, always welcomed me into their home, and treated me as a member of their family. It's a warm memory I'll always treasure.

Bernie and Tom, if there's anything our family can do to help you through this difficult time, please don't hesitate to ask .

Sincerely yours,

Isa, J. and Phoenix
