Hi Robin,

You have our condolences and sympathy. We are sorry for your loss. Your father was a wonderful man and he will be missed.

When I was a kid I spent what seemed like a lifetime at Perry and Elaines house. I feel so bad that I never stayed in touch over the years to let them see how my life progressed and how their family grew. Perry you are already in heaven.
