"Dear Cinda, While reading the Globe Gazette in Clear Lake today, I saw that your father had passed away. I'm sorry for the loss, but I hope you'll always keep a lot of happy memories alive that he provided as a father. I know I have many of my own father, who died suddenly in October 2004. I haven't seen you for many years, but maybe you'll remember me from when I lived in Key Apartments around 1989-1991. You always spoke so well of your parents. Take care and accept my sympathies. Gary Nelson"
