    Dear Mary and family, I'm so sorry for the passing of your father. I always remember him as quiet and smiling. I hope your good memories and time will help ease your loss. How can it be all those years ago that your dad or mine would pick us up after cheerleading practice or drop us off at the mall. We had a lot of fun times. I'm sorry I won't be able to attend his memorial, as I am going out of town. Please pass along my condolences to your mother and brothers. Take care and please lets try to get together and remember all those "good old days". Fondly, Julie

    Dearest Mary and family, I'm so sorry for your family’s loss of your father, and I keep you all in prayer. I’ll always be grateful for knowing his kindness (and your mother’s), as I remember fondly times from our youth, as Julie mentioned cheerleading practice, the mall, spending the night, and slumber parties. Yes we had a lot fun, let’s plan a remembrance. With love and in deepest sympathy, to you, Mark, Dan, and all your family, Julie Bennett Dreesen
