Doris....I was so sorry to hear about your Dad. I remember coming to your house and visiting in high school and how sweet he was to you, your sister and your mother. Your dad would take you and I on the tractor down to where the dam was being built and show us how it was coming along. That seems like just yesterday. They are great memories which I am sure will sustain you during this difficult time. My thoughts and prayers are with you and your family. Linda Stables - Chester, Va.
