Just hard about your father's passing away. I am so sorry I did not come to the visitation last night. I am praying for you and your family. I really enjoyed your dad and will never forget him stopping by here(ABPoe)and picking me up for lunch one day. He was having a difficult day after your Mom passed. I was honored he thought of me.
