Dear Chad and Cathy,
I am so sorry for your loss,you are in my thoughts and my prayers. I have so many fond memories of all the years when Chad was growing up. The Sports Car club swim parties are always on my mind on the 4th of July (as well as kicking the English cars). I know Chad will always be in your hearts. Take care of yourselves. Love, Linda Jones
