My condolences to Ken and Ann, as well as the rest of Mr. Meeuwse’s family. Even though it has been a very long time since I have seen either of you, I think of you often. I hope the love and support from your family and friends helps heal your sadness, and the memories of your dad makes you smile daily.

With sympathy,

Loriann
