Kay, and family.

I am so so sorry to hear of your loss. I remember always coming to the house with Lisa and Nick always yelling at us about where are we going, what time will we be back, who are we going with, etc. I'm sorry I wasn't able to attend, but I was out of town. My sympathy and prayers are with you always.
