We did not know your dad personally, but we did know some of his children. So to Jane and Tom, Alice and Doug and Maryann and Dallas and the rest, please know that our thoughts and prayers are with you at this time of sadness. It is never easy to lose a parent and now they are both gone and at rest. May your good memories stay with you always.
