Steve & Cheryl,
We were saddened to read of your Dad (& grandad's) loss. You are all in our thoughts and prayers. After I lost my Dad, I found that keeping lots of photos of him everywhere I looked, helped me through it. It did help. I only wish he could have seen our granddaughter. Love to you and the whole Cerretani Family.
Godspeed. The Sims Family
