Mike, Sue, Scott, Steve, Rob and families,
Just heard about your dad's passing. So sorry to hear that. He was such a great man and reminded me so much of my dad Marvin. I remember all of you visiting us in South Dakota when we were growing up. Too bad we couldn't have gotten together more often! Hold your memories close to your heart and lean on family and friends for support through this difficult time. I will keep you all in my prayers. Take care of yourselves and be there for each other. All our love and prayers.
