Mom, J.l., Patty, Sandy, Nancy, and Bill. You all were so much a part of my life growing up with Dad overseeing it all! I told Mom I think I spent more time at her house than my own! Your Dad was an amazing man. You all were his world. He will be missed by many. Love, prayers, and hugs to you all and your families. Pam.
