Dear Micklos Family,

My deepest sympathy to all of you. I had gone to grade school with Ann, so it's been years since I've seen any of you. But what I remember about your Dad was his soft voice and nice smile. You're a close family which is a good thing during this sad time.

Deepest Sympathy,

Sue (Filipovits) Hall
