Vickie and family,
So sorry to hear of your dad's passing. He was a great man who always had a smile on his face and a permanent twinkle in his eyes. Never had a bad word to say about anyone. I remember when Danielle & Tarynn were growing up he and Helen always made us feel like part of the family. He is an angel now, forever looking out for you.
