Dear Sue,

I am not sure you will remember me, we worked on Girl Scouts together, our daughter,Alice and Stacey played together. I knew your Dad from his time spent on the Enclave Board. I enjoyed our interactions, and always thought highly of him. In my duties here at Cagan, I was asked to handle a donation in his name, and it was then that I saw he was your Dad. I wish I had known the connection before now. I am sure he is proud of his grandchildren, and I will certainly let our children Alice and Charles know.

Our sympathy is with you and your family. The Walker Family

Dear Susan and family,

Please accept my sympathy on the death of your dear father. I knew him for just six years, but he made a lasting impression on me with his kindness and concern for all of us living at the Enclave. He always remembered to ask about my children when I saw him in the hallway.

It was my pleasure to have known your father, you have a treasure to remember.

With sympathy,

Virginia Davidson
