It´s hard to believe our parents are all gone
This is my first Christmas without both of them but it warms my heart to think they are partying together in heaven.

Dear Laurie and Lynn
I´m so sad to hear about your dad. We certainly have shared some wonderful memories over the years. Your parents were two of my favorites! We are in Arizona but please know we would have been there for you. We´re there in thought and lotsa prayers going your way. Our dads have had wonderful lives but we know they miss their other halves and now at least your dads at peace and I´m sure happy. CompleteLove you both and again so sorry we couldn´t be there.
