Ms Dunlavy and Family:



I am so sorry to hear about your precious love one. Your Mother and Dad would always come to the Wachovia Bank together, I will surely miss seeing them. But your Dad is in a much brighter and happy place.

I will continue to care for Ms. Dunlavy, and help her in any way possible. I am sending my love and

prayers to comfort each of you at this difficult time.

God be with you!
