My heart extends to the family of Mr. Nolan. most especially Marilyn and JIm, two of the most dedicated family members I've ever met. I only knew your dad for a short period of time, however, he was a beautiful light that filled the room he shared with my husband. What a priviledge to have known him and Marilyn and JIm.
