David,
It's been years and I think about you and your family so often, which prompted me to reach out and see if I could get back in touch with you. I was so saddened to see the news about your Dad on the internet. Your Parents were both so sweet to me, always!

Dad and I share your loss and send our love. Take comfort in the arms of your family and friends and know that we are here too, with Big Hugs and Loving Hearts!

Love, Gerry Morse and Lee Anne Northcutt
