Sarah,
So sorry for your family's loss. When I heard about your father & seen the last name I thought I went to St. Pauls with him but it was actually with your brother & sister Michael & Karen. Your family is my thoughts & prayers.

Rita, my prayers are with you and the rest of the family. I will miss my friend. It was a joy seeing the two of you coming into LaBelle Gallery. Mike was a good person and enjoyed life.
