Hey Farleys! I'm really sorry to hear the sad news. I don't know how I got to know all of you so well, but feel like I barely knew your dad. Although I did always here about his amazing entrepreneurial adventures. Amazing if you ask me! I miss all of you, especially this time of year, and please know that Liz and I are praying for you and your dad.
Love you guys!
