Dear Kathy and Family,

I am so heartbroken to hear of your dad's passing. I have many years of memories of him thanks to yours and my friendship in our school days, Sperle's Cleaners and, of course, at Mr. Tinker's K-40 "parties" at the office where your dad and I got to chat once a month. He was a wonderful, kind man. Thinking of you!!

Love, Carrie Weeks
