Dear Children

Words cannot describe our feelings upon receiving the news of your father's death. He must have simply spiraled downward since the death of your mother. How difficult it must have been for him to go on alone without her. They're in a better place, now, and infinitely united. We celebrate their reunion and will keep them in our hearts for the remainder of our lives. God bless the wonderful family they left behind. We love you all.



Sincerely,

Frank and Betsy Moulis
