So sorry to read of "MISTER" Pilara's passing. His smile brightened up the room. I will always remember him with Melba at my wedding - sitting in the back pew and laughing as I walked down the aisle. My prayers are with you.

Oh Pat, please accept my sincere sympathy on the passing of your Dad. My love and prayers to you and yours. 0x, kaaren
