Mark and Vicki....My sympathies go out to you and your Family. It was such a pleasure to know your Dad and your Mom! I worked for your Family Dentist Dr Gerry Scanlon for 31 years. After the office closed, I sadly lost touch with your Mom and Dad. I did run into your Mom a few times out shopping here and there. They were such a great couple. Hold on to all of those wonderful memories you have with them. I wish you peace. I am keeping them in my thoughts and prayers. Cindy (Johnson)

Bob, May you rest in peace with your forever partner Viv. I smile as I remember all the fun anecdotes Viv shared when you first dated and during your life together through so many chapters. I am proud to have known you—our sympathies to Vicki and Mark and all the Hynes family.
