Lisa and Mike,
I am so sorry for the loss of your father. Lisa, you were my first friend and I am happy you are still a part of my life. Growing up, I probably spent more time at your house with your family than at my own. Both your parents were a part of my childhood and will be missed. I remember when we would get into some sort of mischievous adventure and your dad would always calmly say, “Karla, run on home.” I am happy to have known them both and that we all have our own fond memories.
We send our sincere sympathy with love and prayers.
Julie’s Mom and Dad, Jan and Charlie
