Sammy

I am so happy to have been part of your life.
And want to thank you for having a wonderful daughter . I remember the talk we had you told me you were happy that we both have each other and that she has someone you trust to keep her safe.
And I will keep her safe for the rest of my life.
You probably have a tee time set up with Arnie and Ben Hogan.
Keep it in the fairway, hit it straight until
We all meet again.
Love Sue and Tony
