Lisa, I've been thinking about you and your beautiful family all week. Although I never met your Dad personally, I can see from these guest book entries what a loving and kind person he must have been. It is no wonder that so many people obviously appreciated and respected your father.

Sending you love and prayers of comfort and healing...
