Dear John and family: I remember your dad with great fondness. He was a kind and wonderful gentleman. I enjoyed the times I spent with your family at Little Sebago and Pleasant Mountain. It’s so heartbreaking to lose a parent. I wish you all comfort at this time.
Sincerely, Elizabeth Munster Manduca
