Peggy and Susan,
So sad to hear of your loss. I remember well the words that your Dad spoke at our wedding almost 30 years ago. I also remember how annoyed he ewas when I arrived at your house one Christmas morning VERY early all excited about what Santa had brought me.
Love from the old neighborhood,
Sarah Hendrickskon
