Dear Ken and Lori,
I was shocked to hear about your dad's sudden death. I met him and both of you many years ago in Florida. My mother is Uncle Tom's aunt (Helen's twin sister). I know how it feels to lose a parent suddenly as my dad died 37 years ago quite unexpectedly. I will keep both of you and your family in my thoughts and prayers.
Sincerely, Jill (Rockhill) Lucas
