Teresa, Gary, Vicky, and Faye-And Family,

I am so sorry for this significant loss in your lives. I have many fond memories growing up in my teenage years of your mom and dad, both. There may be one, or two, that may not be fondly remembered, but that was our-my fault, Teresa!!! I pray that the peace that surpasses all understanding will surround you all in this difficult time, and that you will all feel the love of Jesus, and peace in your hearts.

With much heartfelt love, and sympathy, too-
