Dear Donna, Rik, and Ryan
Our thoughts and prayers are with you all at this sad time. I know your father enjoyed life by the stories my mother-in-law told me when he'd go to the Arlington Hotel. At 86 people say "he lived a long good life" and that is true, but no matter what age our loved ones go to heaven, it still tugs at our hearts. If there is anything we can do, please call. We love you.
