What a shock! Corey and Lacey,
Buck and I are so sad and sorry for you. Buck's dad had Alzheimer's and we understand both the terrible pain the three of you suffered during his illness and the relief you feel now at his release to heaven. When you are missing him talk out loud to him about whatever is on your mind. That, and daydreaming help with grief. That's what got me thru the loss of my parents. I'll keep you in my prayers. Love, Susie and Buck
