Homer so sad to hear the news that you guys lost your pillar of a father. You 3 men have an excellent example of what Love looks like. He always seemed to have Maria on his hip and Loved and cared for her deeply it ALWAYS showed. She picked a good one. They were quite a team I'd say. Your father to me will always be very handsome and so very polite and nice that's how I remember him. God speed for healing for you all. It will be very hard. Sincere Sympathy like they say maybe the memories aren't just to remember the past, maybe memories are really all we have that last. He left you all so very many of those I'm sure.
