    We are sorry to hear about your father’s passing. I worked at Danco with George for many years. He was a great person to be around. All the co-workers appreciated his honesty and sense of humor. He will be sadly missed.

    Kitty,
    I am so sorry for your loss. I was grateful that I got to meet your Dad at graduation and see the Dad you would dye your hair for before your visits north so he wouldn’t feel old! You are such a thoughtful daughter, making him feel comfortable about his age when he was well, and comforting him during his passing.

    My thoughts and prayers are with you, your Mom and your family.
    Love you,
    Rita D.
