Dear George, Jim and families,
I was so sorry to hear about your dad’s passing. I will always have fond memories of our time on 12th Street, the gatherings at your house and the crazy antics of our childhood. Your father was certainly a big part of my memories. Please accept my deepest condolences. I’m sending all good thoughts to you all.
Love,
