    Debby and Mike,
    I was saddened to hear about the loss of your father. I remember your QND days well, and how much your parents were so proud of your achievements. I will pray that God gives you the strength you need in the days ahead, and that HE will fill your hearts and souls with only the great memories that you created, and shared with your father. God Bless.
