Dear Minnich Family,
I am so sorry to read of the passing of your dad. Your Mom and Dad were such dear friends to Ray and me. What wonderful memories of the fun times when we all (our group) went on the cruises together, island parties, all our kids graduation parties and their weddings. RIP Asher. I am sorry that I won't be able to come to your dad's service on Tuesday because I will be out of town, but you are all in my thoughts and prayers.
