Marc and Maureen, It was very saddening to hear of your dad's passing. I just wanted you know how great we thought both of your parents were to us growing up. When we think of our childhood we often talk about spending good times with your family. Your dad always had a smile, I'm sure he will be missed. All of you will be in our thoughts and prayers.
