Our deepest sympathy to all of you--our "second" family! Your Dad was such a wonderful guy, and always cherished being around every one of you, making for a close knit family--and even making us, during our visits to your family events, feel right at home! We send our thoughts and prayers to all of you...and Irma, a special prayer for you as you endure this painful loss of your wonderful friend and husband.

Love and Blessings,
