Dear Patricia, Jack and Gary,
I am thankful for my childhood memories of a kind and caring man, especially the wonderful time spent

Gary and family. I am so sorry for the loss of your dad. This write up of your father (and mother) were so beautifully written that I felt like I knew your parents personally. Now these 2 are together for all eternity loving each other and looking out for their family from above. Who knows, maybe they are your next guardian angels.
