Dear Darlene, Philip, MiMi and Vincent, I was so sorry to hear of your Dads passing and am keeping you all in my thoughts and prayers.

I'll always remember the day your Dad and Gamp were sitting in their car after leaving the Saints game when Dempsy kicked the infamous 63 yard field goal, what excitement!! I'll always be grateful as well for all the times your Dad drove us to one game or another throughout the years.

Much love to you all.
