Richard and Linda and family, you probably don't remember me but your dad taught me how to ski and also encouraged me to sing my first solo. He was truly a joy to be around and will be missed greatly. To this day, I have not heard It Is Well and At the Cross sung like your dad sang it. You're in my thoughts and prayers.
