    Lisa and Dora, I was so sorry to learn of the recent passing of your wonderful Dad. I have never known any father who was more proud of his children than Chad. My Dad and Mother, Doc and Betty Case, thought the world of him, too. Daddy particularly enjoyed and appreciated the opportunity to work with him those many years at Doc's Service Center in East Flat Rock. Mother, Daddy and my brother, Morris, are in poor health, so we were unable to attend the visitation or funeral service last night, but please know that both of you and your families were in our thoughts and prayers and will remain so in the months ahead. May God bless, comfort and help you both always, and may both of you always bless, comfort and help each other.
