Nancy and Jamie,
I have just learned of your Dad's passing and want to extend Ernie and my sympathy. He and your Mom were like Aunt and Uncle to me while growing up, and were a big part of Mom and Dad's lives. They had such wonderful times together. Let's hope that now they are all together.
Thinking of all of you.
