Dear Charlie and Lorraine--
We are very sorry to hear about your father. We know how close you were and how painful your loss will be. Although we only met your father once, we enjoyed hearing your stories about your father's shop and home. Hopefully, these memories may ease some of your pain during this difficult time. You are in our thoughts. Fred and Dianne

Our thoughts & prayers are with you at this time. Uncle Sereno was very special to me; I have very fond memories of some of the times we spent together. As a child, I remember my dad and I going to his shoemaking shop many times. With sympathy, Love Ed and Diane
