    Dear Sharon,
    We read of the death of your Father with sadness. We have not seen him in many years, but remember him fondly as a guy with a quick sense of humor who had a great chuckle! A quiet, reserved man who could always make me laugh (sometimes at wakes–where I was trying to be grown-up). I’m sorry we did not keep in better touch with him after your Mother died. They were both great people and I know you miss them. Mary and Jim
