Dear Mrs Jimenez, Janet, and Deanna,

Phil and I watched the Epiphany mass from PA this morning and heard them pray for your dad. We are so sorry for your loss! I remember well, Janet, how happy and proud your dad was of you at your quinceanera. Seems like yesterday!

Hugs and love to you all! Maria too who we heard is retiring after 33 years!

Love,
Phil and Karen (Lyons) Jaskot
