Dear Monica, Heidi, Christina & Sandra,
I am sending my love to you all. I was very fond of your dad. I used to love visiting with you all on Christmas Eve when we were younger and loved having bbq at your house. Best damn steak I ever had! I also remember how much you guys loved him, and how much he loved you. He will be missed.
- Love "Lili"
