    Jeanne, Roger and I would like to say how very sorry we are that you have lost your father. I know you loved him very much and I know how much he loved you. You were a wonderful, caring, loving daughter to him and that would not have happened had he not been just as wonderful, loving and caring to you. You were very blessed to have him as your Dad.
