Dear Vaughn,
I am truly saddened to hear of your recent loss and would like to express my sincere condolences to you and your family on the passing of your father. I have the fondest memories of your dad putting up with all the drama you, Joel, Judy and I caused. I remember the first time I came to your house, my car overheated in the driveway spilling antifreeze everywhere! My dad would have flipped, but your dad was so very kind and understanding. Seems like such a long time ago, but I will always hold those memories close to my heart.
God Bless
Your Friend,
Karen Elgin

With love,
Vaughn and family,
It has been many years since I had seen your father, but I remember when your family moved from PA to Pueblo when we were in 3rd grade together. Your dad was always so nice to me when I was visiting you at your house. I am sorry to hear about your loss and my prayers are with your family.
I have been meaning to contact you since I am also in Texas. I actually ran into Conrad at the hospital when my dad was passing away and he told me you were in SA. I get down there every once in a while with my work, so the next time I am down there I will contact you.
Best wishes old friend.
