I found out about the worsening condition of Barbara's Dad on Thursday afternoon after I reported some BoD funds issues to her and made a suggestion that we have lunch together on Friday as I came through Greensboro en route to my daughter's in Apex. She told me of his passing just a few hours later -- I had sent a message with my personal thoughts on their behalf, but was saddened to hear that he had passed.
Barbara, it is never a joyous day when one loses a parent, but as I said to you last night, cherish the sweet memories of all those great times you shared with him. My deepest condolences to you and your family.
