Ron: We were so sorry to hear of your loss. Please accept out sincere condolences.
We know the sorrow of giving up a dad and grandparent. May many happy memories replace your sorrow in time. We were fortunate in having the parents we had from that generation of people who were generally good, honest and hardworking people. Mom spoke of all her brothers and sisters with such affection.
