Vicki & Dennis,
I'm so sorry to learn of your dad's death. I sure have a lot of fun memories of Kyle that bring a big smile to my face! I hope your memories will bring you comfort too. I'm imagining your mom and dad dancing around heaven's Christmas tree this year and it's beautiful!
My love and prayers are with you.
