Allen,

I got to see your dad several months back before he even went into the nursing home. He remembered me and we just talked and gossiped and laughed. He was ALWAYS so much fun to be around. Lots and lots of good, fun and memories up on that farm and ofcourse the little trailer close by. He was an awesome man, very kind,great sense of humor, hard worker. He also thought the world of you. I was out of town, that week so I could not attend his funeral or I would of been there. Hang in there and continue to make him proud. Most of all cherish your memories. I Love Ya and tell Bev hi for me too.
Maybe we all could get together after Dec. somehow.
