Hi Rick, I am sorry for you and your family for the temporary loss of your dad's presence with you. I know this season makes it harder as well. Isn't it great we get to see our loved ones again, and in the meantime we still have them in our hearts and can remember them still full of life. I tried to look up your phone number to call and found this. Blessings on you all. --J. Henry ( from 8508 Julian Rd, now in Phoenix)
