Dear Cindy, My heart has been heavy now since the passing of your dear Dad, Forrest Chuck Dressler aka"Mighty Man" I love him just like I did my Dad. He will be truly missed by many. I just wish I knew sooner about him having cancer. My daughter and I have been on the Relay for Life committee for a few years. We have been walking for 5 or 6 year to help find a cure for cancer. I will definitely be walking for him next year. May God be with you and yours through this time. HUGS
