Dear Mrs. Stem and Tressa,
I am so sorry to hear about your husband and your father, Tressa.
In reading the obituary you can see what a fine man he was not only for his family, but for our country.
Tressa, knowing you gives me some insight to your father. He will watch over you, Les, Tressa and your Mother.....
God Bless All of You,
Susan
