My Dad was a great person. Very loving to all and a pleasant personality. I am so grateful for the life lessons he provided me and know that he will continue to guide me from above.
Rest assured your children are watching over Mom. Mary and the Maude have been relentless. The caring qualities they’ve demonstrated can directly be attributed to skills you instilled in each of us. Thank you for this and thank you to my sisters.
Sorry Dad, the Reds are still in the cellar and President Bush is leading the best country God created to glory. You can be proud you voted for him! Love forever. Your youngest Son.
