Dear Kenny and Gail,
I am so sorry for your loss. Ken, I am sitting here thinking about all the fun and crazy times that we had with mom and dad. I'm sorry that I could not attend the mass. We just got back into town late Friday night and I just read the obituary. You all have a new angel watching over you and he and your mom are together again.

With sympathy,

Steph (Howard) Porter
