Will be remember the good times our whole family had building houses and laughing. Shelia, I know you were a good daughter to your dad and he appreciated what you did for him. I know he did not want to go and live in a nursing home and the family seemed to bond and did what had to be done. I am sure your dad and mine are together in heaven building something and getting on each other's nerves!! Sure will be in my prayers. Shelia, call me when you get a chance so we can talk. Love, your friend, Ardine
