Coley and Katie,
We were so saddened to hear that your Dad passed away. Your father was such a wonderful guy. He would never drive by our house without giving us a smile, wave and most often a short chat. We will always remember him as such a friendly, happy guy. We will be keeping you in our thoughts and prayers during this difficult time.
Jeanine and John
