Ernie and Peg so very sorry to hear about your dad's passing. It is never easy to lose someone we love and has always been there for us. You will always remember the good time they shared with us and how they helped make us the person we are today. The best honor we can give anyone is to smile when we think about them.
Sincerely,

George and Susan O'Hare
