Dear Ronnie & Pat:
I was sorry to hear of your dad’s death and wanted you guys to know I am thinking of you. I remember talking and sharing some of his life with you while I was at Viola and knew he had his ups and downs and you guys were trying to help him.
My thoughts and prayers are with you. I hope you both are doing well yourselves.
Love,
Kathy
