Dear Marianne, Bob, Janice and Families

So sorry to hear of Tony's passing. Not only do I remember him from Park Lawn, but the great times at Sertoma's Special Children's Center.
Your work here is now finished and he is with Jesus and your parents. A job well done. My Linda is probably showing Tony around heaven.

God Bless...Jean Epstein, former Park Lawn parent.
