Dear Peggy and Family,
My heart goes out to you all. I only met your Dad a few times some 40 years ago when we were in High School together. May you find comfort to know that he is in God's hands and no longer suffering. God bless you and keep you.
Sadly I lost Mike 2 years ago from a lengthy illness.

My sympathy to the family. Tom & Judy are friends of mine and often Judy would tell me what a wonderful mother & father-in-law she had. Embrace the many memories and find peace in the love your Dad/Grandpa gave you.

Thank you, Dad, for 35 wonderful years that I have enjoyed with you as your "first" daughter-in-law. Your love, devotion and dedication for all of us were truly an inspiration. What I most admired was your fairness, honesty. and great sense of humor. I was blessed with the best in-laws anyone could have.
Love, Judy
