Dear Vickie, I send you my sincere sympathy at the loss of your dear father. I remember him and your mother of course. Most recently when your Dad was at Good Sam, and earlier when he and your mother were neighbors of Zooks. They used to join us at Zooks when we had "sing-a-longs". When he was at Good Sam and I was a volunteer, I frequently got a friendly "bear hug" from him and always a smile. I am thinking about you now praying that the Lord will comfort and strengthen you. Love and prayers, -- Ruby Hill
