Dear Josh and Lilly,
Please know how very sorry I am to hear of your dad passing away.I am sure I speak for many as to the shock of this.
Your dad was a very kind man. I truly enjoyed his company. The evening he took me to see TSO was a magical evening for me. Forever I shall remember that evening.
Please know I am here if you need support.
