Dear Michael, John, Kevin, and Bill,
My sympathy on the death of your Dad, a very special man. He always had a smile on his face and went out of his way to make everyone feel welcome and at ease. I always enjoyed being with him. We shared many laughs. He will be missed. All of you are in my thoughts and prayers. May your Dad rest in God's peace and in your love. Take care.
