Dear Jordan, we were so sorry when we learned of your father's passing. When we shared the news with our friends at Cape Cod, all of the families - the Chamber's, the Partner's, the Rielly's and the Kilgore's - asked to be remembered to you and your mother. We all hope you and your mother take comfort in your memories and the love you had known. God bless you - Kris and Bruce Perry
