"Dear Debbie, Doug & Diana, We are so sorry to hear about your Dad's passing. It was so wonderful that he could attend his 90th Birthday Celebration that you held for him just a few short weeks ago. He was able to spend time with his family & all of his friends. Our old neighborhood just isn't the same now that we are missing so many of the people from our childhoods. No matter how old we get, or how old our Dad's are when they pass...it's hard to say goodbye. Our hearts & prayers are with you, & your families at this difficult time. Susan & Chris Galjour.
