Vivian and Family
No bond is as great as that between a Dad and his daughter. I know how proud he was of you for raising 3 great kids, running a business, buying your home and just be a daughter he could depend on. We have been friends for a long long time now. How many times did we talk of our Dad's? If you need an ear to listen I am a phone call away.
Honor, Courage and Commitment
Stand Down Chief and thank you for your service to our country!
May the Love of friends and family help you during this trying time.
The Valentine Family
