I spent many days with my brother-in-law before he left us for a huge party that we are not invited yet. He always had something nice to say, loved his cooking TV programs , cars, & cross word puzzles. I know is having a great time with his two yorkies he lost a while back.
I will miss him terribly as I know SUZANNE, & all his family will ( plus his little yorkie , Rex. )
With loving thoughts & prayers. Dianne & FRED Taylor
