Kelly, I am very sorry to hear about the loss of your dad. I hope he is happy in heaven with your mom. They were the "coolest" parents I have ever met. I remember all the fun things we did with them, especially your mom, when we were little kids. I have often thought of them over the years. They were truely remarkable people and I loved them very much.
Love, Reggie
P.S. My family also expresses their condolence.
With deepest sympathy, the Coleman Family
