Dear AnnaMarie, I always thought how wonderful your father must have been to have raised a daughter as kind and devoted as you. While you'll surely miss him every day, may each memory bring you comfort and good feelings of gratitude. Please take care of yourself as well as you take care of others, Doug Deneen
Uncle George, my greatest memory with you was going to your house for holidays (my favorite place to go) and learning how to play pool. You taught me well. RIP and until we all meet again. Love Always, Karen
