My heart breaks for you,the family of this wonderful man. He truly was a man of honor and integrity. I remember his quiet yet strong inner strength that was such a comfort as we waited for hours for Aunt Heidi to return from surgery on the day she went to Heaven. I am keeping you all in my thoughts and prayers.
