Mary -- Thank you so much for the telephone call to tell me about your dad's passing.  I am sorry we missed his services.  We were traveling out of the country until late yesterday (5/8) and did not receive your message until this morning.  I did not have a number to return your call.  Your dad and mom were wonderful people.  I have many fond memories of our times together.  Please accept on behalf of your entire family our deepest sympathies.  My guess is your dad and your mom are playing cards with my mom and dad in heaven as we speak!!!
