Dear Family: I was your Dad's secretary for about 5 years at Mercury Records. You have my deepest sympathy. I even met your grandmother at the paint store on Ashland Avenue. My husband and I went to your grandfather's funeral too. Your dad had a good sense of humor and I know he will be missed by many. May God comfort you at this time.

Dear Tommy and Cindy....I am so sorry to hear about the loss of your Mom and Dad.

I'm sure it is very hard right now for all of you. I feel that there must be some comfort in knowing that they are together and no longer suffering.

I came across a picture of them at my Mom's 60th birthday party in Chicago. That's how I will always remember them. Your Mom is laughing and your Dad is smiling.

God Bless you and your family..Love Sherry and Family
