Mrs. Ruffini, Pam, Lisa and families,

Our thoughts and prayers are with all of you at this time.

Even though its been many years since we have actually gotten together, I do think of all of you often. Unfortunately we have all been separated by either distance or everyday life challenges. I have many wonderful memories of your father. He always made me laugh with his sense of humor. I mostly remember him in the garden, that he was so proud of, or building and fixing something.

I miss all of you.
