Ma.Dot, Sherry, Sylvan,Sandy and family... where has the time gone... God blessed him with 90 years! So awesome! His legacy lives on through his children and your children... Garry and I were reminiscing about the time you all came to visit the Dallas/ Ft. Worth Texas area and we all went to the State Fair of Texas. Willie Nelson (Always on my Mind) was performing there and Pa. Tack was hyped because he wanted to see Willie!..we get tickled just thinking about him during that time... fond memories....anyway, thinking of you at this time and praying God Blesses you with the blessings you stand in need of...
