Dear Blond Family -
I was saddened to learn that Michael had pased away. I'll never forget how wonderfully your dad treated me when following major surgury I showed up at your store. I lost 70lbs and felt horrible. He made me feel like a fashion plate and made me look like a million $$$ to boot. I always enjoyed visiting him I will miss him very much. He was a wonderful human being. My thoughts and prayers are with you.
Sincerely,
Tom leonard
