Louis and Barbara,
I am so sorry for your loss. I know words cannot ease your pain as I have been there but just know that my thoughts and prayers are with you. I remember all the fun times at the campground and your dad had the BEST sense of humor. He could always make me laugh no matter how mad I was at Tommy. He will be missed dearly. Please keep in touch.
