Hello Mark Kim Jeff Kevin & Brad~
Please accept our late condolences Just saw your Dad had passed. I do not read the obits regularly. Paul and I would have come to the wake. Same goes for your Mom. My apologies. Your Mom was the sweetest person & certainly didn´t deserve that terrible disease. Your parents were both great people and were loved and admired by my parents-John & Victoria as well as Chuck and I. I loved visiting your home because your Mom was a great cook & your parents were always so nice to us. Paul and I are well & celebrating 50 yrs this June. Chuck. was hospitalized 2 weeks ago with complications from Agent Orange when in the service. We sincerely hope all of you are doing well and I wish you a happy life. Fond memories of Uncle Tony & Aunt Clara too. Take care & hope to see you sometime.
Love & Sympathy
