Dawn and Danny,
We certainly want to express our sympathy for the loss of your dad. Even though in later years our relationship changed we still remember the fun times we had with Mert and Evenlyn. Your dad was a very spiritual person. This has to be a comfort to you at this time, Our best to Rich and Mary and all of the kids,

We didn't know Mert was so sick.
Your parents were very special people and enjoyed life.
You and your family have our sympathy and our prayers.
