Dear Foster Family- we are so sorry to learn of your Dad's death. He was a great neighbor his friendliness and his enthusiasm will be missed. You all must know how fortunate you are to have had such a positive role model and such a caring, involved father. Many family members never experience that kind of love. Our best to you and to your family as a whole and please know that our thoughts are with you as is our deepest sympathy. Sincerely, Bob & Lori Reed
