Debbie and Linda, I just heard,. I am so sorry for your loss. I’m sure it’s tough now, but don’t forget how lucky you’ve been to have your father around for so long.
We are all so sad to learn of your dad’s passing. He will be remembered for his sweet and caring personality and love of tennis and dancing. He will certainly be missed at Camp. Hold on to your memories of him and we wish you all peace during this difficult time. With sympathy,
Inga and Roy
Debi, Gary, Ingrid, and Annika
Sorry to hear of your loss.
