    Dear Steve and Matt, Don't know if you would remember me but I met you guys down at the river. We had a place down at the end of the lane. Anyway, we loved you dad so much. I got sick several years ago and lost touch with him and sure wished a lot of time I could get out and visit him. He was such a good man and he always ready to help someone else. At the river, him and I would work on anything to keep ourselves busy. We rebuilt lawn chairs to building picnic tables. Miss those day so much. My prayers are with all of you.
