Dear Mike, You and your family are very important to our son Gregg and although he did not do the best possible job of solving his house and plane problems, his and our hearts were with you and Kelly this past weekend. We were sorry we could not make it back from Virginia in time for the service to honor your mother, but glad Elizabeth and Patrick were able to attend in our place.



We send you, Kelly and your family our most sincere sympathy for your sudden great loss and interrupted wedding plans.
