Marlys,
I was so sorry to hear of your Dad's passing. Both of your parents always seemed to be smiling or laughing when I saw them and that is the way I will always remember them. I only have the fondest of memories of your family and our friendship. My sympathy goes to you, Mark and the rest of your family. Love, Sue.
