Doug and I wish to express our deepest condolences to Belinda, Kelly, and Alexandria for the unexpected loss of your husband, father and grandfather. We only had the opportunity to meet all of you once, at a gathering of Fred and Carol Kritz's family in McFarland but have learned more about your family in recent years from Kelly. She has brought the strong family values she learned from her father and mother to the Kritz family. Peace be with you as you mourn the passing of your loved one. Mary Kritz and Douglas Gurak
