Dearest Gonzalez Family,

My deepest condolences on the loss of your loving husband, father, and grandfather. May you be comforted throughout the coming days, months and years, with only the warmest memories you shared with him. May those memories include the loving kisses and hugs he used to give you, keep you going.

And for Linda, my dearest friend of so many years, know you are Daddy's beautiful princess today and always. No one can take that away from you. Today is my Dad's birthday and I feel especially close to you as I remember losing him so many years ago.

May God give you all the strength and courage to get through this difficult time.

Love, Irene Serwa and Steve Serwa
