My thoughts and prayers are with you, Carrie, Lori, and your extended family. It's been a sad week, since I received the news of your dad's passing. I'll be with you in spirit, on Friday. I can't believe I've known your dad, most of my life, and didn't know he loved to play cribbage. I do, too. We could've played when I visited. I will cherish my memories of your mom and dad.
