On
a rather personal note... I would like to extend a sincere thank you to
all the individuals and clubs for the many caring words, cards, flowers
and memorial donations that we received upon the recent death of my father.
My family and I were truly amazed at the enormous amount of caring and
kindness that was extended to us. My dad was a remarkable man and
a wonderful father who I miss greatly. Your support and caring have
been very much appreciated by myself and my family during this difficult
time. Thank you. - Vicky Oboy
