Pat, I don´t know if you remember me but I was bereavement coordinator at Good Sam. I remember you and Tony well.
I was sad to see this notice of his death. I hope the two of you had many wonderful years together and that the memories you. Axe during that time bring you comfort and peace.
Thinking of you and your family.
