Linda and family,
You are all in my thoughts and prayers. As each of you rejoice in the special memories and celebrate the life of the wonderful man you call "dad", please know that God has found a most special place for him in the ranks of His angels. I remember fondly our summer travels together to Canada and the west coast. It was a privilege for me to get to know your parents during those few short days.

He loved you all so much, and helped make you the people you are today. Remember, he is in your heart forever.

With love,
Nancy
