MaryLu and Bud,

I recently heard about your father(-in-law), and I'd like to extend my deepest condolences. If Mr. Reda was as caring and supportive of you and your family as you have been of me and my family, you have undoubtably suffered a great loss. I wish you all the very best in what is surely a difficult time; I'll be thinking of you.
