    Peter, Nani, and Cathy,

    My heartfelt condolences to all of you for the loss of your dad. He was a good person. I remember him coming down the road on his way home for work, driving that blue car of his. May his memories keep you all going strong. I feel your pain.

    Love, a friend forever,

    Mercy
