John, Marilyn, Chris, Tim and Dave. I am so sorry to hear about your dads passing.
It was fun reconnecting with him the last couple of years as we raced down the hall
to get to the exercise bike first. Peace and Prayers for all of you.
Thanks Bob, my condolences to you and your family over the loss of your mom! Regret that I couldn’t make it.
