Dear Cheryl,
your father( once he discovered me again after 50 plus years), visited me in Winnetka at work.
What a warm, caring person he was and how kind and sincere of him to remember me.We both lost our loved ones from Alzheimer's and it was so sensitive of your father to remember my mother.
I am so sorry for your loss.
Be well,
