Cindy,
Since we don't get a newspaper, mom called and told me about your dad. Steve and I are so sorry for your loss. When I think of your dad, a funny, kind, and caring man comes to mind. I will never forget the slumber parties, and your dad waking us up in the morning, even though we didn't want to get up! What fun memories...
Our thoughts and prayers are with you and your family. Love, Brenda and Steve Kisner
