Mark, Betty, Dawn, Dan & Family,
I was really saddened by the news of your father's passing. I am sorry I wasn't able to be with you today, but you are all in my thoughts & prayers. Missy & I had a great laugh thinking that now your Mom & Dad are having cocktails with my Dad.You know how much you all mean to us. We love you and will sorely miss your Dad. He was a wonderful person, and one of my favorites. We always have our memories to bring a smile, your parents both inspired & encouraged us to have great times together. I don't know of a married couple I admired more than your parents. I have such fond memories of them both. Both of you too!
Love to all of you, take care of each other.
