Phyllis, I know you will miss your dad. He sure seemed to enjoy the Leavelle family email system, and those of us in the "cuzzin network" will miss his presence there as well. Our sympathies are with you right now.
Your cousin, Susie

Phyllis, I am so sorry about your Dad. He told me once that he only saw me one time, but he became close through this modern convenience. I enjoyed the various pictures he sent to the cousins through the past few years. He could find some really beautiful and interesting scenes from all over the world. We will miss his emails very much. Our prayers go out to you. God Bless you, Cousin Pat (and Sky)
