    Lisa, Shelley & Bob -- We are so sorry for the passing of your father. Looking at his picture reminded us of our younger years, when we thought of your parents as Mr. and Mrs. Brady. Your father was a wonderful man to all, and we will always remember the great times that we shared with all of you and your parents. We will keep all of you in our prayers.
