Patricia and family,
Our sincerest sympathy to you all in your loss.
We did not know your father personally, but can only assume that he was a wonderful and outstanding man based on knowing and loving you. His qualities are surely exhibited each and every day in you, which in my mind confirms that he must have been a true treasure! I know he was loved by many and his absence will leave a great void in your life.
Our love and prayers remain that God will give you the comfort that only He can give.
Your friends,
Donya and Gene Strother
