Dear Laurel, Cheryl, and family.

I was saddened to hear of your mother's passing. It is never easy to lose a parent, no matter how old you are. My Dad passed in 1989 and my mom in 1992, and.. I remember that my mom and dad spent a lot of time with your mom and dad, socializing and having a drink or two at Club Lilymoor, and at the beach at Lily Lake, when we all were younger... I know that they appreciated your folks' friendship . I often think of those days and remember you both and your younger brother and.. I also remember your mom.. she was so short..I thought she was one of the kids!!

Please accept my condolences and sympathies...

Best Wishes,

Dave Fantus
