Dear Lisa,

So sorry to hear about your Dad. He was a strong presence at all your kids' games and seeing him there cheering and supportive of the kids always warmed my heart. Cherish the wonderful memories. Your Dad will be missed. You and your family are in our thoughts and prayers.

Dearest Pop

Your cheerful smile and up-beat attitude will be missed at all the HVAA games your grand-children play. I am honored to have known you if only for a short while. You always made me feel special whenever I met up with you.

Rest on angels wings until we meet again. God Bless You.
