Jody - Our deepest sympathy to you and your family. I know what you are going through. Please especially let your mom know I am thinking of her. I saw her just a couple months ago when she was driving by my mom's house and we chatted for a few minutes. I will be putting my parents' house on the market this summer. It is sad to face our parents' aging. Please take care. Send me an e-mail if you get a chance. Our thoughts and prayers are with you and your family. Take care.

Dennis: My condolences to you and your family on the passing of your dad. I'm hoping I have the right Dennis Hikida that I had as a student in the 6th grade at I.I. Stevens School in '62-'63....many fond memories of our time at I.I. Stevens. I saw the obituary on internet in the Seattle Times today.

God bless,

Sincerely, Wilho (Willie) Saari
