Janet and Family, our thoughts and prayers are with you. So sorry for your loss. Our memories of your dad and family go way back. I loved your parents and getting to go “out” to your house “in the country”. A special treat was when they would let us ride the horses bareback! You will always miss your dad, but he will always live in your heart, with memories to cherish.
