Dear Anna,
I heard the news of your Father's passing, and am sending you my heartfelt condolences have been remembering your Dad with great fondness.
He was always so cheerful and welcoming, so kindhearted. On every one of our sleepovers, he ensured there were enough bananas for his "Moonkey", which he so teasingly referred to me. I loved it.
I remember how he used to follow you around in the mornings, as I waited for you to catch our bus to school, literally feeding his "princess" toast and egg, bite for bite. You were so coddled!!
He was so proud of you when you got your sewing machine, and even more boastful when you created garments that one would even wear!! I remember one sleeveless dress in particular, that I loved to borrow. It was a white and navy print with navy trim at the neckline and arms. He just beamed and announced everytime, how you made it.
There was one summer I did not attend Weselka, and he took me to visit. The trip there and back, seated on the bench seat in the front, between your folks in the beige (was it an Impala?) car. He was so easy going, and your Mom did all the traffic fretting. Nothing really phased him, he always had an easy spirit.
Although geography and life has changed my ability to see or visit, I am confident that all of you will remember your Dad with beautiful memories, a gracious spirit and a wonderful life.
My thoughts and prayers are with all of you at this very difficult time.
Love, your childhood friend, Marcy and Family
