We are so saddened by your loss. Just recently ran across a photo of your Dad from a New Year's Eve party 30 plus years ago. We always enjoyed running into your parents -- seems like it was when we were both shopping at Sam's. Helene and I loved to talk about and compare jewelry. Our thoughts and prayers are with you.
