Dear Donna, Dan, Kyle & Ryan
Just a note, our hearts, love and prayers go out to you all at this time of loss. I'm sure you made a load of great memories to think back on. When my Dad died a little over two years ago, I just kept telling myself now he's perfect again, no health issues, etc. I'm hoping your memories and maybe telling yourself this will ease you through this hard time.
Love,
Glenda, Zeb, Zach & Ben Zimmerman,
Danny & Jenny Mazaika & Family
