Dear June,
Mike and I want to extend our deepest condolences to the April passing of Doug. The two of you have come to mind off and on so many times over the last 35 years! We have lived in Northern California, East Bay, for that many years! We always wondered if you were across the bay from us. Today I searched and found Doug’s obituary. Mike and I were just chatting about his bobcat after seeing a commercial with a bobcat in it!
I hope this finds you in good health. I am sharing my email , if you choose to stay in touch. [email protected]
With Sympathy,
Becky & Mike Sedrel
