Dear Dolly, Joey, Steve, Joanne, Michael and families,
I can't begin to tell you all how saddened I was to hear of your Dad's death. He was truly one of the nicest people I knew and always made me feel so special when I saw him.
My memories of him will be treasured and I will say a prayer for him and Aunt Millie on Sunday.
Take care and I send my love to you all.
Love,
Martha
