"Connie, Kay and Dwight on behalf of my family I wish to say how sorry I was to hear about Mr. Obrien death. I have loss both of my parents so I know how hard it is. I will be leaving to go out of town so I will not be able to attend. My thoughts are with the family and I pray that as you grieve God will comfort your heart. My daugher Amber that attends school with Dwight sends her love to him and hope he is ok. May you find peace in his passing. Your old school mate Shirley
