I was thinking of taking a ride to Sister Lakes and randomly searching old friends when I came upon your Mom's obituary. I was shocked and saddened to hear of her passing and then learning that your Dad has passed also...no words. I am so sorry that none of us knew because we would have been there for all of you as you were for us when we lost our parents and our sister. You'll never know how much it meant to all of us when Sheila passed away and you all came to her wake. We couldn't have asked for better neighbors and friends. Know it's been a while but also know that life is never the same without them. How lucky we were to have such amazing parents! Love and prayers to all of you.
