Dear Sharon and Brian, I am very sorry that I missed paying my respects. The lessons learned on the farm – hard work, diligence, and teamwork – have served me well as a teacher, coach, and principal. More importantly, the love that your parents had for the two of you was extended to all of your friends. Whenever we came over, your mom would start cooking and your dad would join in or encourage the crazy and competitive games we would play. (I think I still have some ball marks on my chest from the indoor hockey games in the basement!) Food, fun, laughs, and love were constants. I was so fortunate to have your family in my life. Take care, Andy
