Dear Rick, Debbie, Steven, Linda, Michael and Patti;
I am deeply saddened by your dad’s passing; he was so kind and sweet. I had many great conversations with him, and you were all his pride and joy. Mr. Gardner shared lots of memories about you all and about your mom. I will truly miss him, as he always had a kind word and a smile.
My thoughts are with you all!
Fondest regards;
Phyllis Zimmerman
