I went to school with kendre and kendrick (elementary) and for some reason you all were on my mind today. I remember your father coming up to hobby on several occasions and he always had a smile, yet a stern look especially when he got after kendrick. He watched out for you all and I am sorry about your loss...I lost my dad too so I know how that loss feels. Be sure that He is only gone in the flesh and will continue to watch over your family in spirit. ....Johanna Watson
