Dear Janice: I am so sorry to hear of your Father's death. I have so many fond memories of us growing up together and his part in those memories are wonderful. I always go back to when he was running for something and we helped campaign for him by going door to door with his cards in the heart of the summer. Also sitting in his car and pretending to be driving for hours. He lived a long life full of respect from everybody who knew him. I have thought of both he and your Mother often. Please tell her that I love her and all of you are in my prayers. Give Mona and Dona my regards. I have very fond memories of them too.....teaching us to dance! Be strong Janice, I know this is a hard time. Your memories of wonderful parents will get you through. I miss my parents every day of my life and I thank God that he gave both of us such outstanding examples.

My Love,

Donna and John
