My Dearest Mary & Family,

Your dad, at 100, was a one-of-a-kind, active, loving, and spirited young man who always brought joy and smiles to those around him. I feel so grateful to have experienced his dancing, singing, French phrases, and his love for Jesus and for everyone around him. He touched so many lives and created so many beautiful memories while he was here with us, and now he is surely making many more with your mom and all those who have gone before us.

May those memories continue to bring a smile to your face, warmth in your heart, and comfort in the days ahead.
