Dear Pat and Girls:
We are saddened at the news of your husband/dad. We have such wonderful memories of the teasing him about the Fr. Lee Look-alike contest. I'm sure the two of them are in interesting discussions. Please know that he will be in our daily prayers and also that he is in a better place.
Wish we could be there for hugs!!
