Statler and Ashley, so sorry to see this about your dad. I loved your mom and dad for many years. I hated it when Kay died so young. I sent Steve a Christmas card every year and he sent me one back. I hate your kids will now have to grow up with no grandparents from you. I will be out of town tomorrow or would attend the funeral. Know that my thoughts and prayers are with you at this very difficult time. I am a senior citizen now myself, but I still miss my parents all the time. Love you so much. Cindy
