Mary
I was sad to hear about your dad. It is good news for my dad who I'm sure was at the door waiting for his good buddy Tommy Colgin. I have many fond memories and pretty jewelry my dad bought for me at Colgins. Your father really will be remembered as a man of integrity and kindness.
My thoughts are with you
