David, Bernie and mom. I am so sorry to hear of dad's passing. I know it's been forever since David, Jack and I hung out together but I have always had mom and dad in my prayers. I used to love coming over, even if it was just to pick David up. I always said hi and tried to make dad laugh because I loved his laugh. He was a great man, husband and father. I am sure he loved being a grandfather as well. You all will be in my prayers. Mom, please take care of yourself. David you take care of mom and Bernie. With much love and affection. Sandy
