Carol and family,
We are very sorry to hear of the loss of your brother, David. I was glad that Rich and I had the time to be with him when we were last out to Minnesota. I know that was not an easy time then but Rich enjoyed seeing and being with David again. The thoughts and prayers of the whole family are with you during this time.
