Leigh--I was so shocked to see that your Dad had passed away. He was a wonderful person. Your dad was always fun when we were young girls and was a great Blue Bird troop Dad when your mother was our Leader. I know you and your family will miss him deeply but always know that he is with God and you will see him again. Please know that Russell and I are thinking and praying for you now. We love you!
