Dear Karen,
We were sorry to hear of the loss of your Dad. Remember the good times and keep him in your heart. Your Dad was a good soul and quite a character!

In My Pocket

We''ll always remember the fun we had together - golfing, the garage, picnics, the Elks, baseball games, dancing at the Port 5 and the Cove - those were our special days!

Your dad died with a smile,and, you are the reason.
