Dearest cousins: Just got the news of Homer’s passing – sincerest condolences to the whole family. Seems like just yesterday we would pile in the car and drive the 8-9 hours to see you all. Your mother’s laughter and your dad’s sincerity are how I remember them. Wish that I could be there with you but time does not allow that. I will call in a day or two, once things settle down. Please make sure everyone gets our best wishes – we will be thinking of you.
Love Pat & Rick, Michelle, Derek
