Dear Bob, Ken and family,
Knowing the Kando family from the days of summer camp at the CYO on Denver Street through today in practice, we have enjoyed your friendship and collegial, cooperative spirit. Your parents were kind and thoughtful examples for us all. I´m sure they were delighted by their wonderful family and proud of all your accomplishments. May you all enjoy the many memories of your mom who you were so fortunate to share with her over the years. God bless you all.
