Dear Randy & Terri,
I was so sorry to hear about your dad. We had many good times over the years. Going so suddenly was good for him but shocking to everyone else. Wish I could be there but with bad weather here I don't think it is wise to travel especially with more snow coming tonight. Keeping you in thought and prayer.
