Dear Ellen and Family, you’re not going to believe this but this morning I was looking up a phone number in my address book and the page flipped to your name.  At that time, I thought, "I wonder how George is doing."  Shortly after, I looked at the obits and there was your dad’s name.  I am so sorry Ellen to hear of his passing.  I hope he did not have to suffer in any way.  Please pass your condolences on to your children and other family members.  I always have fond memories of your mom and dad and spent many a nice visit with them in the years I cleaned for them.  I had been remiss in visiting you dad though I’m sorry to say.  Please know you are in my thoughts and prayers at this sad time.  God bless.
