Barrie Entwistle Beth,
I was sorry to learn of Max’s passing. You have certainly had a time of it lately with first your daughter-in-law’s health issues and now your Dad’s passing. None the less 92 years is a good full life and he certainly lived life to its fullest.
Love,
Barrie
My dear friend.
Your Dad meant a lot to me and to my family. He was a loyal and true friend to my Dad — they had some great times together and were “there” for each other. You know that I am there for you.
love,
Heather.
