Dear McCrystal Family,
I'm sorry to hear of the passing of your dad. He was such a nice and fun man. He always made a big deal about seeing me (and others) when he came to the Glace family affairs.
It was always great to see him dance, he really did know how to have fun!
He will be missed.
Take care and God Bless you.
Love,
Sally Glace Oppenheim
Daughter of Bill Glace
