Lorie and family-
I am so deeply sorry to hear about your loss. I knew Todd through my Uncle Duane. Every year he and Duane would make the summer trip to Kansas. I know that Duane thought so much of Todd and all of us back here grew to love him as well. May God provide you all with the strength and courage that will sustain you through this most difficult time. With love, Jody, Steve and Mark
