Dear Carol and Jerry: Read about
your Dad's passing today. "Death
leaves a heartache no one can
heal. Love leaves a memory no
one can steal". Quote from an
Irish tombstone. May your
memories help you thru this
difficult time. Love, Shelly Polge

I send condolences to Nick's wife and family at this time of loss. May you be comforted by the words of the holy book "eye has not seen, ear has not heard the wonderful things God has in store for those who love him" (1 Corinthians 2:9)
