Edith:

I am saddened to hear about Til. All the fun times up at Buckingham are are priceless. I especially remember "two cheescakes". One for Til, and one for everyone else.

Please know my thoughts are with you and your family.

Love,

My thoughts and prayers are with you on the passing of Til. I have great memories of him taking a bunch of high school girls on the last day of school up to Clearlake to water ski and play in the sun. Thank you for all the good times. May he rest in peace.
