Dear John, I was so sorry to hear about your wife’s passing. I wasn’t able to make her service because of minor surgery but heard it was a wonderful service. Just wanted you to know you are in my thoughts & prayers. I want you to know you have many Tiburon friends that are there for you as you go through the grieving period. You are a wonderful person & look forward to seeing on the course. God Bless you & your family. Randy Milnes
