Dad and I had so much fun practicing our father/dance for my wedding. He transitioned one month before our planned original date. Al was still hospitalized with covid and due to the pandemic our wedding date had to be pushed back. Well, Al and I were married in a small ceremony on November 5, 2020. We couldn't have chosen a better day the weather was amazing warm sunny, bright and beautiful. It hit me my Daddy wasn't there, I started feeling some sort of way then the feeling passed. In my picture when this occurred there is this beautiful rainbow shinning across me, my confirmation my Daddy was there!!!
Thank you Daddy
I love and miss you...often think of you...and greatful for all the memories

Hey "Ole Man", it's already been a month since you left Regina, Nancy, Bucky, Mike, Larry, and I...it seems like it was yesterday. People are still talking about how handsome you looked, how sharp you were dressed, all the beautiful flowers, and your beautiful obituary. How's Mom and Angel? Did you tell them how much we love and miss them? I bet you had some kind of reunion with the family and your friends. Guess what? I got a $40.00 camera ticket on the way to your service. I had forgotten my family generation scarf, went back home to get it, and was trying to make it to your service on time. I got it in the 2700 block of Edmondson Ave...must have been one of those boxes on the corner. Bucky was with me, I'm surprised he wasn't complaining about my driving. I guess it was because it was your day! Anyway, just wanted to let you know you're on my mind. Love you!

Dad, I miss you so much. The days just aren't the same with out our daily phone calls and hearing you say, "I'm still holding." It was a pleasure to care for you and I thank God
