I walk into your home and I am greeted by you with biggest smile I had ever seen. That was 3 years ago.

Dear Gail and daughters.
I was very sad to hear about Dave, he was a wonderful man.
My Mom and Dad really cared for him and Gail, and I know my Dad really loved seeing Dave on what would be his final birthday 5 years ago.
Thanks to the both of you for being such good friends to both of my parents while they were alive.

It seemed like only yesterday when we were just young kids and I remember spending alot of time in your home in Berkshire, now fast time has passed. I was so glad to have seen both of you on my fathers 65th Birthday Leo Harris my father always spoke highley of all of you in years that we have all known eachother. My heart is filled with great sadness and your in my prayers at this time. The days ahead will seem very long and when you loose someone as close as a father and a husband please know that I understand what you are experiencing. God Bless
