Mary Sue and family,
My thoughts and prayers are with you. There are no real words to express my deepest sympthacies for you all. He was an extraordinary man whose life was dominated by you all. A tremendous example as a human being and a more gracious man has not lived. I will miss him greatly but will always treasure the great memories. Be strong and of good faith and may God bless you, keep you and comfort you in this time of great sorrow.
