Know that we are here for you during what is a very difficult time in your life and that our prayers are with you and your family. You always spoke of your father with such deep love and respect, it was obvious he was your rock.

Dianne,
We are so sorry to hear about your loss. Although we never really knew your dad, we can only imagine the type of man he was by what we know of you. Your polite, kind, and generous personality did not come about by accident. Rather, it was instilled by loving parents who displayed those qualities themselves. So, in a way, we got a glimpse of how wonderful your dad was.
We hope that you and your family find comfort and peace in the love of family and friends, and may you cherish the many shared memories of your dad.
Ron and Ricki
