I was so sorry to hear of your father’s passing. He held a special place in my heart and he will be missed. I am so glad that he had such good health most of his life and that he was able to live independently for so long. He is with his precious Viv, so I know that he is content.

Sorry to hear of your Father’s passing. He was a wonderful man! I remember all the times we would be waiting for you Kathy, and while doing so, would be sitting talking and visiting with him and your Mother. Those were the good ole’ days, weren’t they??
They are together now. You and your family will cherish so many great memories of them both.
