I will remember many things about "Papa", but especially how he tried to teach me plumbing as he changed out my main water shut off valve, back in the mid 80's. Mum, you took such good care of him (and his dog Sugar) in his declining years. You get the nursing award of the year. You should be proud of yourself. I know you will miss him terribly but he is resting in peace now. I am sorry that you, Sharon, Gerry, Aaron and Danielle have had such significant losses in such a short time.
My love and prayers go with you.
