I love you & miss you Dad. Karyn

Karyn, Kathy and Kim,
I have many fond memories of hanging out at your house and your dad being there, putting up with our antics. While he didn't say a lot to us, he helped us when we needed it and it was obvious he cared about and loved his daughters. I'm sorry for your loss.
Love,
Shawna
