Trish, Jimmy and Veronica,
I'm sorry for the loss of your dad. The physical being of your dad will be greatly missed, but his memories will forever be in my heart. Such a true gentleman. I have so many happy memories with your dad, such the family man, that those memories are a gift in its self! It softens my heart to know that your mom was waiting patently for him with open arms.
