    Dear Patty, Pete, Mike, Patty, Ginny, Dave and Steeb family members: We were so sorry to hear about your dad’s passing. May you take comfort in knowing he is at peace in Heaven and reunited with family and friends who had passed before him also in Heaven and, no doubt, greeting your dad with open arms and big smiles. We know you will miss your dad but hope that your many fond memories (including those family breakfasts) will help sustain you during this sad time and also help to bring each of you peace. In sympathy, prayer and friendship, Mary Frances and Dennis
