Ruthie & Burton,

We were so saddened to hear of your father's passing today through a mutual friend. Conard and Karen, Steve, Kenny, Tim, Beth, and Ruth, our thoughts and our prayers are with you and your entire family during this most difficult time. I too have lost both parents and truly understand your grief at this time. Just always remember that both are in a wonderful place and together again. Time does heal the hurting, but the wonderful memories that you all have will always be a part of your life. Again, our sincerest condolences.

Con, I was so sorry to see your dad's O/B in the paper. I worked with him for many years at the Standard. We had a lot of good times together. I saw him at the Standard reunion in 2002.
I wanted to come to the visitation tonight but I have a sinus infection and just couldn't make it.
I want you to know that you and your family are in my thoughts and prayers.
