Dear Cheryl,
I am so sorry to hear about your Dad passing. Mr Oelze, as I always called him, was so kind when we were growing up and playing on Round Hill, Rossmoor and Bohrer Park. Just saw his obit after the funeral and know how much you are going to miss him. I always think of you and your parents when I pass the house.
May your grief and sorrow be replaced by wonderful memories. You are in my thoughts and prayers at this difficult time.
Hugs, Sue Guttler
