Dear Marilyn, Don and your families - Even though your Dad has lived a long and fulfilling life, it is with a sense of sadness that I write this message to you. He and your Mother have been life long friends of our family, and even though we did not visit regularly it was always a pleasure to catch up with their lives. Then later in life after your Mother passed away, He found companionship in Vi - what a sweet person she was and I had many good chats with the two of them. And so as you mourn His passing, my wish for you is that you will find closure in the loving memories you have shared with your Dad and Grandpa throughout his long life. Take Care. - Posted by: Corene Antle (Friend) on: Feb 06, 2016
