Sorry for your loss. I have many happy memories of visiting with your family when I was growing up and going to South Dakota on my vacations. I can still remember one night all the kids running around catching fireflies (which was exciting as we never see them where we live in CA). Time just goes by so fast as I now have 4 kids and 7 grandchildren of my own. My prayers go out to your family.
