Well it's been a while since my dad's passing, I think of him on a daily basis and grateful for everything he instilled in me especially his sense of humor. Since his passing, his sister too has passed, good friend Marty, Aunt Marge and most recently cousin Susie Smith. My dad's care taker Lisa texts me every June 12 which is the day my dad passed but also my birthday and it's amazing to me what an impact he had on people's lives that would make someone stay in touch 8 yrs later.
My brother who is a good man, becomes more and more like him everyday, and my sister Pat and I know exactly what traits and characteristics that we've inherited good and bad, from my dad. I too have decided that when i pass, I want all of the dogs i've owned to be buried with me (cremated ashes of course) and that is something I wouldn't have thought of doing if we didn't do it for my dad. RIP dad....love lindy

Pat, Lindy, Geordie and Family,
Knowing and caring for George during the last five years has been an honor, my privilege and a treasured GIFT! He is as you know, family to me and will always hold a dear and special place within my heart.... Knowing he will have his Beloved Charlie at his side brings great comfort as he is missed terribly. You are all in my thoughts and prayers as I reminisce over all the cherished memories! Thanks George!!!
Much Love,
Lisa
