Shirley, Mark, Todd, Robert and Laura:
So sorry to hear about your husband/dad. He was a big part of my past and will surely be missed. I always felt a part of your family growing up. Thanks for all the good times. Hope to see you soon.

I remember when I met all of Joes four budies. I was really surprised at how long they had been pals.
Wally stood up for our wedding. There is nothing like having a friend to do that.
