It has been 3 years since your passing Dad and yet it seems like yesterday when we were all sitting at the kitchen table laughing and having a good time. Miss you dearly, wish Jolene could have met you. Love you.

Linda, I am so sorry for your loss. I remember your dad well. I really wanted to come to the wake, but we had doc appt's as well. Please tell your family I send my condolences. I think about you often and wonder how you are. If you ever feel like talking please email me. It would be great to talk to you again and catch up on our lives since high school. I know lossing a parent is difficult since both mine are gone now too. I am sure alot has changed for the both of us. Take care of yourself.
Always Mary

May your father rest in peace and that his soul be at peace in eternity!! The only way that our loved ones may rest is if the surviving family may have the patience and understanding to continue with our lives in the future. May he rest in peace!!
