I've seen the girls from time to time. If there is anything you need, don't hesitate to contact me through the email address I left.

My sympathy goes out to your family during this trying time. I did not have the pleasure of knowing Mr. Sepsis, but I know his son George.

George is a good friend of my son Jonathan. Mr. Sepsis must have been a wonderful man because his son George is a polite, respectful, well mannered young man who is always welcomed at our home. Sincerely, Gayle Bohne
