Pat-



I am sorry to hear about the loss of your Dad. I lost my dad on Sept. 18, 1992 and still miss him even now. He was waked at the same funeral home as your Dad is.



I remember your Dad and your family from some years ago; back from the days when I used to stop by to pick you up, and go out for the evening.



Please express my sympathy to your family on my behalf.



Thanks,



An old friend,



Jerry
